An Underwater Adeventure

Dominant Impression: I hope to give my readers a clear vision of the atmosphere and beauty of The Aquarium. This vision will be supported with an understanding of why it is so important to me but more importantly, why The Aquarium is such a representative aspect of the entire city of Houston, Texas.

Body Paragraph: Aside from the remarkably delicious food at The Aquarium, the atmosphere is equally as impressive, if not more so. The building itself is architecturally and aesthetically pleasing to say the least. From the outside, the building is made of a light shade of stone. On the front of the building is a man-made waterfall. It is about forty feet tall and twenty-five feet wide. At night time, The Aquarium is even more beautiful. The word “Aquarium” is lit up in a light blue with what looks like waves in the bubbled letters. The building is bordered with a strip of blue lights, and each of the three levels has this strip, adding to the modernized and fun atmosphere of the restaurant. Each of the levels has inlets in which you have the option to sit outside. On the roof of these inlets is a strip of orange, visible from the outside, which accents the blue strips. The architecture of the building focuses on curvatures of walls, unique outside panels, and the balconies. This effect mimics an ocean wave, adding to the aquarium aspect of the restaurant.
