Abstract
Architecture subscribes to ideas of style, consistency and order to give it “legitimacy and legibility”. Dramatic and enriched space is the goal. Adherence to these principles is not always the most appropriate response. Any number of solutions, utilizing different shapes, sizes and configurations are possible. However, clear,contiguous relationships must be drawn between components. By utilizing the perception of shape, color, pattern and light an understandable, geometrically eclectic composition of forms can be created. The design adds to the existing Shedd aquarium in Chicago, Illinois, creating spatial elements under, in and over the lake. New display and information methodologies are explored. The addition incorporates aquatic life from Lake Victoria and East Central Africa. It surrounds visitors with new,immersive forms of display and information. The auditorium is specifically designed for interactions with Lake Michigan storms. The full force of Mother Nature is on display.
