    The lighting design for the Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavilion invites visitors on a journey of discovery through a carefully curated balancing act of natural light, electric lighting, and architecture. The Ocean Pavilion leverages daylight and electric lighting to aid in the narrative storytelling of the exhibits while creating an enduring sense of connectivity to the waterfront. Carefully orchestrated layers of light, including luminaires with custom LED color blends to support the health of aquatic life, work in tandem with projections to create an immersive visitor experience that delights, inspires, and educates.

    At the northern end of a 1.5-mile park nearing completion—a transformation of Seattle’s downtown waterfront—a rounded structure clad in Alaskan yellow cedar has risen. Urbanistically, it is a hinge that gracefully shifts the park’s flat shoreline promenade to the Overlook Walk, a series of planted staircases and pedestrian ramps that ascend a 110-foot-high bluff to draw the park up to the city’s famous Pike Place Market.⁠ ⁠ The Seattle Aquarium's $170 million Ocean Pavilion, designed by LMN Architects, is not an object planted on this park but embedded in it. The steps of the Overlook Walk entwine the curving shoreline-facing wall of the Pavilion. The aquarium’s public terraced and planted roof opens vistas to Puget Sound (now increasingly referred to by the Indigenous name Salish Sea) as it seamlessly joins the walkway and continues to the Market. With Field Operations, landscape architect for the pavilion and the park, Muckleshoot-tribe plant expert Valerie Segrest has selected species that represent a metaphorical journey from the sea to the mountains.⁠ ⁠ Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gjAqA2kT ⁠ Words by James S.

    What does your dream day at the aquarium look like? Ours might include measuring underwater photosynthetic flux or getting a behind-the-scenes glance at exhibits beautifully designed to inspire conservation of the marine environment. Our team approached the lighting design for the newly opened Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavillion with hands-on expertise. This new pavilion is uniquely crafted - embracing both daylight and electric lighting to support a bright, vibrant ecosystem where over 3,500 animals and plants thrive, and marine and human life can intertwine in a breathtaking aquarium journey.
