Informing through entertainment.

Infusing education with fantasy to increase repeatability and differentiate

Winners of an international competition, Kevin and Team developed the concept, master plan, and schematic design for this hybrid oceanarium / theme park, working closely with the Shanghai-based design institute and the Dalian-based client. The theme park's story, characters, and architectural language ties together the ocean, the earth, magic, and a conservation message in unique ways using the tales of animals as the starting point.
