The partly open-air structure will be home to science galleries, a history gallery, a planetarium and a 'living core' aquarium



and wildlife centre that contains a microcosm of South Florida’s animal, fish and plant species. The core design concept is “building as exhibit”. Grimshaw’s design is a “living building” - physically and visibly changing in response to environment, events and the mood of the city. High performance ventilation and air conditioning systems will be fine-tuned to provide superior comfort at low energy for the interior spaces.
