Immersive architecture of aquariums | BUILT ECOLOGIES: ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
Our video series on architecture and environment continues with a look at how the New England Aquarium's architect made an "aquatic museum."
"The aquarium is a dark magic box that would have power—theatrical impact, emotional experience," says Peter Chermayeff, "and that could be immersive or that would surround you and make you feel you were in a world underwater. An aquatic museum."
The Giant Ocean Tank occupied the building’s center; it was surrounded by a series of concrete columns that acted as a supporting structure. The columns were bound to a spiral ramp, which created a compression ring to hold the massive volume of water. Spaced about five feet apart, towering glass windows formed niches that gave visitors the sensation of having a private viewing space. Illuminated with dim lighting, the Giant Ocean Tank orchestrates an experience of transporting a visitor to a magical world.
