Jury Comments
• Neat and detailed work of utilizing the water body for the aquarium rather than giving it on ground.
• There could have been the presence of a tunnel, deeper in the water to allow people to experience the sea world.

India has a long coastline of 7,527 km, abundant fresh water bodies, one of the world's largest peninsulas and is also blessed with many perennial water bodies. This project aims to create recreational facilit ies for all age groups and educate people about marine aquatic life and their importance, awareness on endangered species and how they can be protected. The other objective is to conserve species and biodiversity - conservation through mating, fish hospitals and quarantine for breeding. Most important objective is to encourage tourism - to change the way people interact with the environment. 
The spaces are designed considering the current pandemic scenario and making it suitable for any future such disasters. Introducing green and sustainable features. Dynamic architecture reveals three major innovations: changing shapes, industrial production of nits and selfproduction of clean energy.
Dynamic architecture buildings follow the sun and wind, design more efficient and environment friendly. Includes a cladding screen made up of aluminium shingles which can move
independently with the flow of wind to create a fluid or ripple effect across the entire surface, as well as provid ing some protection against rain. Kinetic lamellas make up the surface and supported at the top and bottom edges of the facade. The lamellas are composed of glass fibre reinforced polymers which gives them a high tensile strength, low bending stiffness and allows for large reversible elastic deformations. 
Educating people in this respect and stressing the urgency would not be better achieved than through entertainment facility. Urbanisation, progressive development and pollution has led to the decline in marine species. The decline in marine species has in turn led to decline in tourism and fishery industry. By introducing an oceanarium in this area and making it a sustainable project, the above-mentioned points would be fulfilled and marine tourism can flourish in India
