It was developed on a site located in a corner of a rectangular shape with the north-south axis within a residential neighborhood in Mexico City, with a floor of 31 x 53 meters. Alongside the installation and documentation, the architects have chosen to display works by Frei Otto, Felix Candela, Heinz Isler, and Philippe Block. The park is divided into ten areas: the marine areas are arranged into Mediterranean habitats, the Arctic oceans, islands, the tropics, the temperate seas and the Red Sea. Again Felix Candela partnered with two other architects, Arturo Sanz de la Calzada and Pedro Fernandez Miret, to carry out this project in 19. The aquariums utilize sea water pumped from the La Malva-Rosa beach. It is home to 45,000 animals from 500 different species-including sharks, penguins, dolphins, sea lions, walruses, beluga whales, birds, reptiles and invertebrate-all inhabiting nine two-tiered underwater towers representing the Earth's major ecosystems. The Oceanographic is the largest complex of its type in Europe, spanning 110,000 square metres (1,200,000 sq ft) and holding a capacity of 42,000,000 litres (11,000,000 US gal) of water, including a 26,000,000-litre (6,900,000 US gal) dolphinarium and a 7,000,000-litre (1,800,000 US gal) ocean tank with sharks, rays and other fish. It is integrated inside the cultural complex known as the Ciutat de les Arts i de les Ciències (City of Arts and Sciences). ABOUT THE EXHIBITION Flix Candela’s Concrete Shells: An Engineered Architecture for Mexico and Chicago roots Flix Candela (19101997) as one of the most prolific architects of the 20th century in his designs with advanced geometries and lasting influence in contemporary architecture. It was designed by the architect Félix Candela and the structural engineers Alberto Domingo and Carlos Lázaro. L'Oceanogràfic ( Valencian:, Spanish: El Oceanográfico, 'The Oceanographic') is an oceanarium situated on the dry Turia River bed to the southeast of the city center of Valencia, Spain, where different marine habitats are represented. He was a distant relative of Felix Candela, and had seen the older architects work on the Bacardi Rum Corporations vaulted bottling plant and other.
With his struc- tural masterpiece, Restaurant Los Manantia- les in Xochimilco built in 1957-58, Candela intersected four hypars to create an octagonal groined vault with hidden ribs at the inter- section of the surfaces.
