Rizhao
Ocean Park for Tengyuan Design
Aquarium shows the tension of the waves through the intersection of the real and the virtual. In the skin treatment, gold perforated aluminum plate is selected, and the non-linear parametric design method is used to weave soft patterns. The top side is a skylight of the spherical single-layer grid structure with a span of 40 meters. Furthermore, ground assembly and one-time hoisting and installation are allowed. Within the architectural space, abundant day-lighting design is adopted to create an aquarium of sunshine theme.

Production Technology
The virtual interaction of different modules is introduced into the aquarium design, so as to express the remarkable tension of the sea waves. In terms of surface treatment, golden perforated aluminum plate has been chosen. The plant and bird park is mainly made of glass curtain wall. The architectural elements on the external facade are like veins of a leaf, and the entire plant and bird park is like a leaf lying silently a beach with plenty of sunshine.
Design Challenge
A number of water bodies of various shapes and forms are complicatedly correlated. In order not to obstruct line of sight and the flow line, cantilevered stairway and large cantilevered stands are provided in different places within the aquarium. At the entrance of the aquarium, there is a Z-shaped post and batter post and other unconventional structures, so as to exhibit the purity of the facades and indoor spaces, and achieve a unity between architectural innovation and structural innovation.
Project Duration
The project started in October 1, 2015 in Rizhao and finished in July 20, 2018 in Rizhao.
Operation Flow
The visiting route and water body within the aquarium are interspersed, creating a diversified exhibition space with rich content. Its top side is a skylight of the spherical single-layer grid structure with a span of 40 meters. Furthermore, ground assembly and one-time hoisting and installation are allowed.
Research
Rizhao Ocean Park is a comprehensive cultural tourism project integrating tourism, leisure and entertainment and business. The parameter-based non-linear design has been adopted to form tender graphics, which look like the ripples on the surface of the sea when a breeze blows over. The resultant aquarium looks vivid and lifelike in terms of its form, structure and appearance as waterfront buildings.Copyrights belong to Name Surname, Year.
Inspiration
The Project is located in the coast area in each China, where the sun sheds its first light onto the earth. It is also the cradle of sun culture of China. The concept of the Project is inspired by the golden sea surface when the sun starts to rise, and the Project is designed as a salute to the generosity of the ocean, and as a respect to the energetic marine life with the language of architecture.
