Aquarium and Conservatory

My favorite vacations were when we went to the zoo and down to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I went to Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum to the Ripley's Aquarium. I love animals and weird people so these vacations were super important to me.

The watercolor on the front of the Viewbook depicts the Island Midway surrounded by water, with lagoons on the left leading to the mainland, and by Lake Michigan on the right. The large semicircular red building shown in the picture is the Electrical Group, where advancements in electricity and illumination were displayed. Below is Enchanted Island, an amusement park where children could enjoy games, shows and joy-rides. The large structure at the bottom of the picture is the Horticultural Building which exhibited many botanical achievements, as well as explaining scientific events such as why rings form within a tree trunk. Above the Electrical Group are the Halls of Communication (four tall green pillars) and Social Sciences (tan roof, blue sides). Beyond these buildings the base of the Sky Ride can be seen as well as the triangular

The South Carolina Aquarium has been working long and hard to save aquatic life. See for yourself some of the unique sea creatures that they have house here such as the American alligator, the brook trout, burrfish, the Spanish hogfish, the sand tiger shark, and many more. They have more than 5,000 animals in the aquarium, which you can explore through an exhibition there called the Mountain Forest. This aquarium also houses other exhibitions such as the coastal plains and has a touch tanks for fearless visitors. You can visit these exhibits for a truly interesting aquatic experience. You may also visit the Zucker Family Sea Turtle Recovery. It is a hospital and rehabilitation center for sick and injured sea turtles. Check out these hotels

The final goal of this will be an exhibit that will be in the touch tank room in the Dorr, and will be made up of panels that will have pictures, graphics, and writing about the intertidal and resource management. It will include an interactive portion with the touch tank, the panels, and maybe some soundscape if possible. Further planning and design of the exhibit will continue in fall term, with coordination with the park and faculty.

“Into the Deep” by Stephanie Faleski is a naturalistic, oil painting showcased in a simple black frame, which measures roughly four feet in length and three feet in width. Its’ frame successfully manages to serve as an outline for the work without serving as a distraction. On either side of the painting there are two correspondingly painted ocean scenes. It depicts two sea turtles, each surrounded by a group of several medium sized fish around them. Each of the fish, except for the one directly behind the main turtle which is only half visible, have four fins in view, with their dorsal fins displaying a separation above their gills. Altogether, there are three separate types of fish, with two of them both displaying brown stripes, and all three of them are grey in color. The main thing that distinguishes the different types of fish are their body structures. The fish along the bottom of the ocean are smaller and oval in shape while the ones above the primary turtle are larger in size with tail fins that are arrow

The layout of the Cinerama Dome consists of an auditorium, lobby, restrooms, projection rooms, and storage, see Fig 7. The entrance is located at the centre of the façade and is composed of glazed aluminum doors. The ticket sales area is located to the right of the main entrance. Concrete block wing walls enclose the lobby, which are embellished with decorative detailing in the form of alternating projecting half blocks arranged in a grid pattern (Emerton 2003, P 38). The exterior is circular in plan and the majority of the exterior surface consists of the domed roof. The entrance is housed within a pavilion, sheltered beneath a painted plywood canopy that cantilevers out over the sidewalk, as can be seen in Fig 8. The canopy is

On each side, two terraces with gates gave access to the interior rooms. One of this terraces displayed pictures from that time. It was built with pentelic marble.

I had the opportunity to visit this museum before and I was very impressed and overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of the things I saw, however, this time during my visit, I gave critical attention to the East Wing Building of the art gallery. I was utterly amazed by the new pieces in the East Wing, which led

Paradise pond is a well known trademark of Smith college. Having been in place long before Smith College was founded, it has always served as a breathtaking release from the realities of our world. However, Paradise Pond also serves an important ecological factor in supporting its own diverse community of organism. Unfortunately, keeping Paradise Pond together is a dam. Typically, rivers have a consistent flow of water that allows the sediment to evenly flow throughout a space; however, due to the dam, Paradise Pond is filling with sediment.

The Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium Restoration project, it is one restoration project of many in the state of North Carolina that make up the North Carolina coastal restoration project responsible for the restoration of the 301 miles that make up the North Carolina coastlines. I have chosen this particular project because it is close to me; I worked an internship for my high school senior research project at the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and worked closely with the rehabilitation of the endangered Loggerhead sea turtle.This ecosystem needed to be restored because of the effects of the Hurricane Irene in 2011, and the Longshore current. This current is responsible for eroding the coastline, moving north to south in a quick process that migrates inlets

All my life I have been exposed to the sea through family trips to Hampton Beach to frequent trips to the Mystic Aquarium. That exposure is what led to my fascination for animals and the ocean. This fascination grew into a passion for the sea and that led me to start seeking different experiences to widen my knowledge. This included Volunteering for the Mystic Aquarium, choosing to go to school at the University of Rhode Island and eventually to applying for a chance to be involved with the top organization in terms of science, service, and stewardship of the climate, weather, oceans, and coasts. With this prestigious honor, I plan to do the summer internship in a different climate near the coast working on a project involving conservation or the effects of human interaction on different species.

One of the most family-friendly things to do in the area, the Key West Aquarium has delighted visitors of all ages since 1934. Open for business during the Great Depression, the Aquarium was Key West’s first attraction. Today, it remains a popular destination, showcasing marine life indigenous to the Florida

This pavilion is a more pleasant building to the viewer because of the proportion sizes of its forms used in its design. Not only does the pavilion have the similar Greek columns as the pantheon, but it also has the dome incorporated as well. Unlike the Pantheon, the pavilions design has a proportion to its forms in a way that one form does not over power the other along with the viewer being able to see the different forms while looking at the building from far away or up close. This even proportion means that the portico does not over power the façade and exterior of the building unlike in the design of the Pantheon. The pavilion also has a symmetrical balance to it just like the Pantheon. The façade in the pavilion also appears to have a uniformity in texture and color from ground to the top of its dome. Although the dome is a darker shade than the rest of the building, it still has a uniformity throughout the entire dome. The traits of the proportionality and uniformity of the design used for the pavilion create a more pleasant view than the Roman Pantheon, although it was ultimately influenced by its

From the observation tower the horizontal building’s three parallel bands can be seen that extend into the lush landscape. The architects’ concept was to immerse the museum in nature by creating a set of three bracketed pavilions under one roof surrounded by gardens. The roof can be seen as
