“The Seattle Aquarium’s new Ocean Pavilion transports passersby from the concrete shore of the Salish Sea — with groaning ferry horns, electric bikes whizzing by and schools of pedestrians spilling off nearby cruise ships — to a tropical oasis.

“The building’s design, overseen by Seattle-based architecture firm LMN and Thinc Design, is state-of-the-art. Gone are the dark tunnels illuminated by exhibits in traditional aquariums. At the cedar, concrete and glass Ocean Pavilion, natural light and a view of the bay are blended with blissful scenes from the turquoise seas and mangrove trees of Indonesia.”
