Viscous Realm: Marine Experience Center sculpted by Wax

Its an intervention in a cold region that uses a dynamic flow and Using the viscous properties of wax in water to form an organic structure with varied light qualities, depending on the changes in wax deposition, velocity of solidification and other physical properties of the liquids used. The space includes an observatory platform and exhibition area, making the landscape itself an exhibit. Designed with diverse volumes, it encourages social interaction and cultural exchange among global visitors. Fabricated underwater and then placed by a lake, the structure is half on land and half submerged, enabling underwater activities and symbolizing a transition from liquid to solid. This creates a set of spaces, flowing into each other, and blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior environments.
