To begin:

I am looking for information about New York Aquarium. This was the winner project of the international competition in 2006, designed by WRT + Cloud9 Architecture (the last is an architecture studio in Barcelona). Does anyone know anything about how this project going? I want to publish it on a Russian forum in which I write sometimes. Thanks.
