Exploration of the creation strategies of Qingdao Aquarium from the dual perspectives of life support system and national spirituality
The Qingdao Aquarium,built in 1931,is the first truly marine science building in China in modern times,and is the first scientific exploration of the relationship between the ocean,architecture,marine organisms and human beings in China.By tracing the develop-ment history of aquarium-type architecture and the construction experience of the first-gener-ation aquariums,this study analyzes the strategies of architectural planning,design and op-eration of the Qingdao Aquarium located on the coast from the perspective of the evolution of life support system.The construction principles of the relationship between the ocean,ar-chitecture,marine organisms and human beings are understood in depth in the context of the social,economic and technological backgrounds of that time,with an attempt to provide ide-as that can be drawn on to the creation of contemporary maritime architecture in China.
