I have no delusions about where my food comes from, but my thinking goes something like this:

Aquarium – Purely for entertainment.
Small fish tank in, say, a sushi shop – Purely for the purpose of eating.
Huge aquarium with connected fish and chips joint – Mixes entertainment and eating, kinda tasteless. Like offering crocodile meat in the zoos cafeteria.

Dav, where on earth do you thing your food comes from?

Perhaps I’ve got a bias as an Architect, but I find the drawings quite clear especially considering that the designer has included descriptions. I think the do justice in emphasising the atmosphere of the place.

Agreed. Also, I find the concept of “eat what you just saw” kinda disturbing.

Why not extend this concept from an aquarium to a zoo? Oh wait…

I don’t even know what the hell I am looking at here, it looks like a piece of abstract art. The designer needs to work on the presentation of their ideas in a clearer context.
