AquaFun is designed on a former petroleum reservoir site. There's no doubt this site has taken part in the main environmental issues we are now struggling with. AquaFun is trying to give back for the many things that this site has been responsible for. The pollutant oil has been replaced with water to bring an aquatic life to the establishment. There wasn't much tension about the harms which come with fossil fuels in the time. Now it's a serious matter, these massive tanks that where once the oil storages are now life tanks, willing to show the beautiful world which we are all responsible about, spreading the love which brings caring. AquaFun has gathered some pieces of nature to make the urban life more adventurous. The visitors could find some unexpected pieces. Once one enters the aquarium, he'll be surrounded by a fine aquatic ecosystem. The restaurant is obsessed with natural fragments one couldn't even stare at the floor to ignore it. The cinema encloses the more thriller pictures that are out of the bounds of the other parts in the complex. It's open to all environmental seminars and events.


The project's tanks have been used for spaces such as curve water cinema (or Cinerama), underwater simulation, aquarium, meditation halls, nautical galleries, and its sheds for coffee shops, restaurants and aquatic training workshops. Other goals of the project include the use of sustainable solar energy, job creation for local people and increasing public awareness of aquatic animals.


In the ramped aquarium, the Mazut storage tanks have a major capacity towards pressure. Due to the recent usage they're completely liquid insulated. Which makes our targets possible.
