The animal stock is communicated to the public in a clear and understandable way and hopefully will increase the interest of aquatic environment. Guides All guides at The Deep are storytellers that through programmed speaks, shows and activities care for meeting with our visitors and to work purposefully to get the hearts of children and adults to beat for the fantastic life in the water. Employees in the chil- drenschoolservicemust,therefore,haveanappropriateeducationwithanaturalanddidactic focus and presenting the animals in an easy, accessible and engagingway. Marine education The Deep children school service is focusing on the students' concept development and un- derstanding, where living animals always are included in the teaching. The deep-sea pods are air-conditioned and can host up to three people at the same time, diving down at the depth of 1,000 meters. From the two full-scale open water pools at first-floor visitors can enjoy traveling vertically via our deep-sea submarine elevators exploring the magical life under the ocean surface. The Deep was developed at the Umeå School of Architecture in Sweden. The Deep is a continuation of the discourse of climate- adapted architecture, stepping forward into the future of sustainable high technical standards and innovative solutions of tomorrow´s architecture. Cities as New York, New Orleans and Copenhagen is already reorganizing themselves, using architecture as a protection from environmental threats. The heart of the building consists of a continuous saltwater atrium aquarium, cutting through all three levels. On the third floor all offices and auditorium of marine research are located. At second floor we find the Bothnian sea breeze cafe and restaurant serving fresh ecologically and locally caught seafood, along with the marine exhibition halls. The two deep sea open water aquariums at first floor offers the visitor a physical and lively interaction of all northern deep-sea creatures. With its parametric manufactured solar double curved roof structure, shaped as an artificial glacier it can adapt to the harsh and snowy winter conditions and maximizing the few sun hours in the north of Sweden. The Deep is a floating flooded protected structure, supported by windpower and made of upcycled ocean plastic debris. Via parametric analysis we can show how renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind parameters can be integrated into the design and how these effects can be optimized for different structures, so that the amount of material can be minimized. Parametric architectural design can be one tool of climate adaptation and high-end technical understanding. In contemporary architecture we are often dependent of sophisticated and advanced softwares.The role of the architects holistic approach in combination with visual programming can give us a better understanding on how both structural and architectural qualities can be obtained.

The earth’s resources are finite, and we must learn how to adapt to this situation. We are contaminating our oceans with a vast amount of plastic debris and fertilizers from the farming industry is causing further algal blooms and death of seabed. 1 But our modern lifestyle requires an extensive amount of energy, depleting natural resources, contributing to melting glaciers, warmer climates and rising sea levels. An estimated 50-80 % of all earthly life is living under the ocean’s surface containing 99 % of the living space on the planet.

We need to understand the relationship between over-consumption and depletion of common resources over all nations, to be able to adapt.Water is a source of life, but also of death and devastation through the lack of fresh water, flooding, tsunamis and other environmental threats. In the paradigm of environmental challenges, urban architecture must reorganize and mobilize new types of resource awareness.


The Deep is a floating climate adapted marine research center, situated outside the Gulf of Bothnia offshore the coast of Holmsund, Sweden.
