Henning Larsen Architects recently won a contract to build a new aquarium in the Georgian city of Batumi. This aquarium takes its design from its surroundings. In this case, the inspiration is rocks -- and a lot of them.
Apparently Batumi beach is covered in smooth rocks, which is what led to the awesome design of this aquarium. The aquarium is set to house a dolphinarium and a zoo. If you want to see more kickass aquariums or work from Henning Larsen Architects, click the links provided.
