L’Aquàrium de Barcelona

Barcelona, Spain

TRISON transformed L’Aquàrium de Barcelona into an immersive aquarium experience, combining technology and creativity to strengthen the connection with the marine world.

The challenge

L’Aquàrium de Barcelona wanted to reinvent its visitor experience through digital innovation, using technology as a creative tool to bring people closer to the marine world. Therefore, the challenge was to design an immersive aquarium experience that surprises from the street and guides visitors through a memorable, multi-sensory tour.

The insight

TRISON reimagined the aquarium as a space where technology and creativity work together. As a result, visitors do not just observe marine life: they live it. From the façade to the 360º room, they explore a digitally reinvented ocean that adds a sense of wonder and brings them closer to the sea and its conservation.

An immersive aquarium experience in four zones

TRISON conceived and integrated an audiovisual ecosystem that combines visual impact, interaction and an immersive atmosphere.

Exterior experience

A large LED screen with 3D content and synchronised audio catches the attention of passers-by and invites them inside. In addition, a holographic fan surprises visitors at the entrance.

Digital ocean

Over 300 sqm of LED flooring recreates the feeling of walking on a moving ocean. Above it, an infinite ceiling expands the sense of space and deepens the immersion.

Exhibition Route

Along the route, LED and LCD screens show audiovisual content that enriches the story. In this way, they connect visitors with the scale and beauty of the sea.

Interactive Area

A 360º projection room takes visitors on an underwater journey with projectors and immersive audio. The room is also ready for events.

Simplified Management

To make the space easy to run, TRISON developed intuitive software. As a result, staff can control the entire system from a tablet, using simple icons.

Audiovisual design integrated with architecture

TRISON integrated every audiovisual solution into the existing architecture. As a result, the installation delivers visual impact without disrupting the space, the visitor flow or the marine environment. We applied the same approach at Casa Amatller, another immersive experience in Barcelona.

Content creation with educational purpose

The content balances emotion and education. For example, motion graphics, 3D animation and sound design explain marine life in a way that is engaging and accessible for every audience. In this way, the installation supports the educational mission of L’Aquàrium de Barcelona.

Centralised management and operational simplicity

A single, intuitive platform manages all the audiovisual systems at L’Aquàrium de Barcelona. From one interface, staff control screens, projections, sound and interactive elements in real time. This way, they can update content, schedule it and adapt it to visitor flows, events or educational activities. Moreover, the centralised approach keeps the storytelling consistent across the space. At the same time, it simplifies operations and stays easy to use for internal teams.
