Case Study: GA Aquarium Entry Kinetic Façade, Atlanta, GA

Georgia Aquarium, in one of their more recent renovations, included a 796 SF KINETICWALL, manufactured by EXTECH.

The KINETICWALL manufactured installed for GA Aquarium features custom kinetic elements shaped like fish scales. The aluminum kinetic elements are anodized with a clear finish, and the rungs and rails are finished with a deep blue to match the surrounding area.

The panel assemblies vary, from 5 flappers wide by up to 22 flappers high in the tallest portions.

A focal point for visitors, the KINETICWALL draws attention to the building and mimics the scales of a fish. The KINETICWALL ripples with turbulence, creating a visual effect similar to light hitting fish scales when swimming through the ocean.

If you would like to learn more about this project or our KINETICWALL, we’re more than happy to chat! Please contact us for more information.
