what does it matter where this aquarium is being built? By the water?? It certainly won't matter for the captive creatures it will jail...who gives a crap about views from the lake or island either...waste of time and money

Ahh, i see where you're coming from

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Lawyer: He is clearly a fish your Honour, I rest my case.
Judge: I think that about settles it. Defendant is guilty. I sentence you to life in a prison tank while tourists and children bang on the glass shouting in shrill voices.

Yea sounds about right

The roof looks to be quite sizeable. Does anyone know if there are plan to make a green roof of it? From the renderings it looks as though it's tiled. Or aluminum'd. [sic]

I was told it would be a white roof during a public meeting a few years ago. A green roof would have been cost-prohibitive because of the extra weight to support a green roof and the irregular spacing of the roof columns.

[Contra]

Don't forget most of the outer shell hasn't been constructed yet. The overall shape won't have much of a roof at all with all the angular walls.

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

I believe any roof surface the building has is concrete pavers
