Aquatecture: Projects, Journals & Ideas

15 Projects 7 Journals

About Discussions Projects15 Journals7

Aquatecture explores the intersection of water management, aquatic programming, and architectural design. Projects in this area address how buildings and landscapes can accommodate swimming facilities, aquariums, water parks, and hydrological systems while responding to environmental and urban contexts.

The community examines diverse approaches to water-based architecture, from adaptive aquatic centers and oceanarium complexes to hydro farming installations and water-integrated public spaces. Work here investigates both the functional and experiential dimensions of designing with water as a primary design driver.

Museorial of Water

Museorial is a space designed as a journey of the sequential unfolding of experiential aspects of water through the built environment. This unfolding would inform and make one remember about the qualitative aspects of water through built. Hence, it derives the name from Memorial - 'make us remember' about water, and Museum - to ‘interpret that for education'

Floating Bubbles

A bridge doesn't necessarily mean a tough structure. It can be a light floating thing which doesn't disturb the water going beneath... It can be like some floating bubbles on a water surface... It can be like a part of the water, not an addition...
