My thesis project is an undersea
reseach facility, which I call The O.C.E.A.N (Ocean Center of
Education in Andaman and Nicobar)

When I saw your initial design I scared that whether you'll be able to make it done or not!
At the end you have make some innovative solution for this unique project. It's impressive. Congrats TZ.
However, in these days 'sustainability' is the most talked about phrase in architecture. What do think isn't this project going very against the environment or nature? Have you thought about the ecological drawbacks of this construction under water? What do you think of the energy efficiency and other issues of environmental sustainability?
First of all why a large construction like this has to be under water? Is it really that much purposeful which validate your going against nature and environment?

@neo:
My project works side and side with nature. infact the entire design (undersea) will act like an artifical reef, and the structure will support growth of corals ON it(which are responsible for 80% of all marine life) thus making research in a structure like this completely practical and viable. As for as energy is concerned i ve looked at tidal energy and solar energy (got from the land structure), but i ve not gone into too much detail of the energy part. my project is more research and concept based. To know more about how my design helps marine life check out page 5,6 in the 2nd attachment (its brief) about this amazing concept called mineral accretion.

@rubel_raf, neo and aliza : thanks ppl
