History

The two principals, Peter Chermayeff and Bobby C. Poole, have collaborated on the design of public aquariums since 1975. Their long partnership, with focus on the design of public aquariums, began in 1975 when Bobby Poole joined

Ivan Chermayeff, Alden Christie, Paul Dietrich, Tom Geismar, and Terry Rankine. The firm's first major commission was the New England Aquarium, which opened in 1969. Peter Chermayeff was the principal in charge and he himself put each fish, including a sand tiger shark, in its main four-story 40-foot-wide Giant Ocean Tank containing 200 thousand gallons of salt water.^[1]

Peter Chermayeff played a leading role in much of the design work through the first thirty-six years of
