Immersed in an Illuminated Aquatic Atrium
















       Through out this project of have come to learn many things. First of all i now understand the importance of really getting an understand of what your clients wants. When your client wants something, give it to them, but do it in a way that they did not expect. At first the clients did not understand how a technology building is similar to aquatic wildlife. The building they work in house many different types of employees from coders to magazine writers. All of the professional that work their address their own problems differently and no one way is right. this is also true with aquatic wildlife. We think we understand them and then some mother natural shows use a contradicting way to live in the ocean. 

       They liked the idea of having an immersive aquarium that they will be able to visit during their break. The space is designed to let people unwind from their stressors, to be a home away from home. This is accomplished by the visitors using more then just their site to experience the space. They can not only see the beautiful fish swimming in the water, but they can feel all the different textures on the surfaces like tables, they can smell and hear the of running water. The affect that this space will give people is one of relaxation. Designing this space to be a third place is what makes it feel comfortable. Not only is it aestheticsly beautiful, but also hatpicly exciting.
