  • Zone sign: Animals appear from the shade of the leaves in the chalk art, giving the impression of living animals outside the tank, intuitively conveying the rich nature of the entire aquatic area, which is the theme of the exhibition.

About the Project

Overview This urban aquarium is the first in Japan to be opened within an existing commercial facility as part of a large-scale renovation project for Kawasaki Le Front, a commercial facility in front of Kawasaki Station. The exhibition zones are divided into areas themed around the world's beautiful waterfronts, from the Tama River that flows through Kawasaki City to Asia, Africa, and the Amazon rainforest in South America. The facility offers an unprecedented nature entertainment experience, incorporating Spatial Production of living creatures, light, sound, and Video, and a two-part system that creates different spatial Spatial Production during the day and at night.
Issues/Themes Since the facility will be located in an existing commercial facility, how can we adjust Equipment Layout within the limited space while creating a spatial Spatial Production that puts the creatures at the center?
Coordinating information sharing and the overall Spatial Production within a limited time frame amid the impact of COVID-19.
Space Solution/Realization By Spatial Production an AI exhibition system and effectively using on-site Video, we were able to recreate the feeling of being there. We also handled all of the environmental Spatial Production effects ourselves, effectively highlighting the presence of the creatures. As the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult to share information in person, we introduced online communication tools and created a scheme to share the latest information with stakeholders.
