Shikoku Aquarium

[Exploring the story of water and life] -Changing along with the aquascape/Aquarium for adults enjoying expressions-

Surrounded by the sea on all sides, Shikoku's diverse aquascapes with many clear streams and countless reservoirs, an aquarium with the theme of "Shikoku aquascapes". The Seto Inland Sea, the beautiful archipelago that Japan boasts to the world, spreads out in front of you. A rich time watching the dolphins living in the pool that blends into the beautiful sea. The interior of the museum is decorated with an environment that uses "sound, light, scent" and "the flow of time", and you can "enjoy the change of expression".
We aimed to create an aquarium where visitors can come into contact with the history and culture interwoven with living creatures and awaken their five senses.

[Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests]
The challenge was to create an environment that would transform aquariums into a place for integrated customer satisfaction, going beyond just displays living creatures.
Furthermore, Shikoku Aquarium is the gateway to Shikoku. Therefore, it was necessary to create an environment befitting such a facility.

[Solution]
We proposed creating an environment where visitors could "enjoy the expression." displays concept was "A Journey Through the Story of Water and Life," and we created various contents to promote a new aspect of Shikoku's unique character.

・Welcome booth
This is a welcome booth where Nihonkaishou, who has continued to face the resources of the sea, will tell you about the charm of the sea of Shikoku at the Shikoku Aquarium.
The design expresses the form that is derived by combining the form that Shikoku Aquarium aims for and the corporate philosophy of Nihonkaisui.
The booth is composed of an aquarium production using artificial seawater, which is a company product, and a video production in the image of salt art.

[Customer Feedback]
・ Welcome booth
We requested a space that would serve as both an aquarium displays and a corporate branding element for our company. The result was a dignified booth that harmoniously combined our main product, salt, with marine life. Visitors have given it high marks, and we believe it has significantly contributed to improving our corporate image.
