Rafael Moneo’s attitudes towards designing were studied, interpreted, and applied in the design of the Marine Ecology Centre in Diu, India. The project stands over the edge of the cliff establishing a presence on the land as well as the sea. Site context is an important factor when Moneo anchors his designs to the place. The form and organization of the spaces in the design acknowledge and complement the bastion of the Diu Fort which creates a grand backdrop on the site.
