I am a spatial designer, I hope to one day create an underwater world entertainment area to allow all people who are interested in the Great Barrier Reef, including those who are unable to dive, such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, or people with physical disabilities, to explore the Great Barrier Reef. The entire project refers to Philips Penguin Island in order to create a thematic space, and the Great Barrier Reef is the theme of this project, specifically coral. Throughout the space, the formation, development, and species of coral are introduced in detail, while also providing a space for people to closely contact and view the Great Barrier Reef.

Hero image(Aerial perspective)

This is a perspective shot from the air. On the right, there is a link between the land and the model, which extends all the way to the continent. People can drive to the bottom and then take the elevator to the underwater world. The faint shadow of the seafloor base beneath the turquoise ocean is easy to see.

Three perspectives views

This image depicts three perspectives of the entire project. I used the fade and other functions on the dark blue-sea colour background.

The explosion

The explosion has a dark blue base and white lines as well. However, I added different colour blocks to differentiate the areas.

The section

This is a section that intercepts the dome on the same level. In this section, I added silhouettes of people in this section to show the space where people move. The spiral staircase connecting the upper and lower spaces in the lower left corner. The space depicted is a dome-shaped structure constructed of tempered glass and steel links. Fish can be seen playing in the sea. The ground floor offers an open view of the underwater world, simulating diving conditions. There is sunshine, fish, the ocean, and coral.

Interior view

This image depicts the space under water; the entire image is the corridor under water, and I chose it to demonstrate how people observe coral and move through the space.

Sunset view

The sunset is always romantic, and I believe many people enjoy watching the sunset over the sea. People usually go to see the Great Barrier Reef between 2 and 5 p.m. It will be almost sunset time after visiting the detailed introduction and participating in a variety of indoor entertainment activities. This image depicts the model's distance from the land as well as the beautiful scene in the middle of the sea.
