Project Description :

A biomorphic marine research center inspired by the elegant motion of flying manta rays gliding above and below the waterline. Its parametric design translates its wings into dynamic, kinatic layers that merge architecture with sea, land, shadow and light. The project explores contrast and integration creating an immersive spatial experience inside out
