Itaipu Binacional Aquarium

Binacional Aquarium, located in Itaipu, Paraguay, is a visionary project spanning 7,500–8,500 square meters, designed to immerse visitors in the life-giving journey of water. Inspired by the essence of water and its role in sustaining life, the building’s architecture features two main elements resembling a drop of water resting on a leaf, with natural light penetrating the interior to create a vibrant, lifelike atmosphere. Its circular forms evoke the circle of life, reminding visitors of the repeating processes on which all living organisms depend. @img1 m The aquarium is planned to house 4 million litres of water across eleven thematic zones, guiding guests through diverse freshwater ecosystems from around the world. Visitors will explore rivers such as the Mississippi, Volga, Nile, and Mekong, as well as Lake Victoria, and experience the journey of water from the Amazonian highlands through the basin to coastal mangroves and the ocean. @img2 m Currently in the conceptual and feasibility stages, the project has been carefully designed with a solid foundation for commercial success and community engagement. Aquamarine’s role encompasses full-scope design services, including concept development, architectural and specialist technical design, interior and exhibit design, and visual communications, ensuring a unique, educational, and immersive experience that celebrates water as the essence of life. @img3 m @img4 m
