Batumi Aquarium
Batumi Aquarium is inspired by the characteristic pebbles of the Batumi
beach – the residue of dynamic seas continually shaping the shorefront
throughout millennia. The building will be situated in the Georgian port
of Batumi and will stand out as an iconic rock formation – visible from
both land and sea.
The formation constitutes four self-supporting exhibition areas where
each of the four stones represents a unique marine biotype – the
Mediterranean, the Black Sea/Red Sea, the Aegean Sea and the Indian
Ocean. The four dispersed aquarium exhibitions are connected by a
central, multipurpose space including café, auditorium and retail
functions with views of the black sea and Batumi beach as scenic
backdrop. Visitors gather in the central space to convene, play, eat,
shop and relax before continuing their adventures through the
exhibitions.Batumi Aquarium will become a modern, cultural aquarium offering
visitors an educational, entertaining and visually stimulating journey
through the different seas. Unfolding around the aquarium, a landscape
of different sea archipelagos provides attractive opportunities for
innovative outdoor research and learning, public space and meeting
places along the beach.
The building's significant expression inspired by nature will not only
make Batumi Aquarium a spectacular new landmark in Georgia but also a
state-of-the-art contribution to exploring life underneath the sea
surface.
The project team from Henning Larsen Architects includes Louis Becker
(design director, partner) Anders Park (project manager), Viggo Haremst
(design responsible), Michael Sørensen and Jaewoo Chun.
