Sharjah Aquarium, Sharjah City, UAE

Promoting awareness among regional audiences of the importance of marine heritage, we developed the scheme to completion as a major visitor attraction. Acting as designer and lead consultant, we appointed and managed the team of architects, engineers, aquarium designers/builders and marine biologists.

In a departure from common aquarium design, it was our interpretive proposal that led both the architecture and the arrangement of tanks and technical services. Our concept of a virtual journey takes visitors through a sequence of coastal, surface and deep water environments in large, often walk-though, aquaria and reconstructions. These are interpreted using multimedia, large-scale projection and graphics, and labelled using an interactive database.
