Do Not Mess With Fish 239,

and you thought fish were fun!

 well hopefully this new building will make them so, as far back as I can remember I have always been interested in fish and fishing, and with fish-keeping in mind I just had to post what will become one of the largest aquariums in northern Europe, once complete, the building will span more than 10,000 square metres and hold more than seven million litres of water,

 London studio Haptic's design for the New Aquarium in Oslo resembles two gently undulating rocks that stretch out into the sea, located in Bærum, a municipality of on the outskirts of the Norwegian capital, "I have always loved the Norwegian 'svaberg' rocks," said Tomas Stokke of Haptic,"They are beautiful, sculptural objects, that form natural pockets, ponds and seating areas, gently heated by the sun. We wanted to recreate the qualities of this, in creating an aquarium with a distinct Norwegian quality.", while one of the sloped roofs will double up as outdoor amenity space that visitors can climb and walk across, the building will be connected to its surroundings by walkways across the water and a new city beach, work on the New Aquarium is expected to begin in 2020 and developer Selvaag is planning for an opening date around 2023, "this is a unique opportunity and we are honoured to be part of this incredible project, the aquarium is located on a stunning site and is well connected to the area and Oslo itself."

 the New Aquarium is characterised by its two gently sloping domes that appear to rise out of the water, revealing glass walls that will give visitors views out across the water, according to the architects, its sweeping form was inspired by "svaberg" a type of rock formation which can be found in the area,

  the project will form part of a wider waterfront transformation and urban development on the site of the city's former airport, Haptic is working with Norwegian studio Rodeo on the larger transformation project, which will see a variety of water-related activities introduced to the area, including boat and surfing clubs, a new urban beach, restaurants and bars, retail and offices and a seaplane terminal, now this aquarium I would amongst many others around the world love to see.
