ARCHITECT: SRG ARCHIECTS (1990)

Oregon Coast Aquarium was built around the arrival of Keiko, the killer whale, who was transported from Mexico by UPS.
The story was covered world wide and his life was followed by thousands.
Keiko was released to the wild in 2002 and subsequently died in 2003.
The aquarium now is home to a variety of smaller sea life including seals, sharks, otters, puffins, etc...
