The
Florida Aquarium was designed from the inside out; that is, the design of the
exhibition experience gave rise to the architectural shell. Highlights of the
facility include a “dive” through a dark and mysterious coral cave, a tunnel
through a reef of the Dry Tortugas, and a living mangrove forest that thrives
under a conservatory-like dome.
