Quick Details
AQUARIUM FEATURING AN ULTRA-LARGE-SPAN GRID SHELL ROOF STRUCTURE
The project is a marine-themed science education and research complex located in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, with a total construction area of approximately 365,000 square meters. As the core landmark of the marine resort area, its roof features an ultra-large-span spherical grid shell structure, creating an unobstructed, immersive spherical space within the venue.
This roof not only demonstrates advanced structural engineering design and construction capabilities but also showcases the innovative application of spatial structures in large-scale cultural and tourism architecture.
