Influenced by the devastating impact on marine life, the project aims to redefine the function of traditional aquariums by creating a design that prioritizes the well-being of dolphins. The concept focuses on providing environments tailored to their natural behaviors, such as foraging and traveling, ensuring their physical and psychological needs are met. The overall architectural form is streamlined, inspired by the natural movement of the dolphins and fish, creating a harmonious space that reflects the marine ecosystem. In this design, visitors transition from being mere spectators or controllers of the animals to becoming active participants and observers of their natural behaviors, promoting a deeper connection and respect for marine life. This approach challenges conventional aquarium designs and fosters a more empathetic and ethical interaction between humans and marine species.
