Sponsored Project | Aquarium of the Pacific

"In partnership with the Environmental Design Department and the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, CA, and with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Resilient Coastal Cities Studio challenged ArtCenter students to conceptualize, design and create an exciting, engaging exhibit that would effectively communicate a call to action for the residents of Long Beach and other coastal cities for resiliency in the face of climate change." - Design Matters at ArtCenter
A F.E.W. Choices with Big Impact
​
Throughout most of stand-alone exhibition displays, the F.E.W. concept is stressed. Representing Food, Energy and Water, F.E.W. involves information and simple day-to-day choices that individuals can adapt to reduce the threat of climate change.
Exhibits lead visitors from the parking lot throughout the Aquarium, but because of the open design structure, they can be experienced in any order.
