Xiamen boasts a well-developed education system and a strong research foundation. Xiamen University’s marine science major ranks second in the country, and the island is home to prestigious research institutions like the Third Institute of Oceanography.
With a history of land reclamation, Xiamen Island is now exploring the possibility of building an underwater marine science lab to expand the city’s living space and solidify its position as a leading marine science research hub.
Sub Aequora, which in Latin means “beneath the water surface,” aims to create a renewable, innovative and aesthetically pleasing underwater environment by constructing a series of replicable architectural units that fit together to create a place for research, education and exploration of the marine ecosystem.
