Sorry, that was mean. Afsha, your thesis should really be an intensely personal process in which you confront fundamental questions of architecture. You should be basically locking yourself in a room with nothing but your brain and whatever tools you will need in order to produce an amazing project. Sort of like Thomas Pynchon did when he wrote Gravity's Rainbow. You're really doing yourself a disservice by trying to farm out all of your research and thinking. Normally you shouldn't become too attached to a project, but your thesis should be the one time when you lay it all on the line and fully commit. Assuming that this thesis is the culmination of some sort of formal education, understand that this is probably your last chance to produce uninhibited, unconstrained architecture that squarely tackles a fundamental problem. Take advantage of the opportunity. You'll have plenty of time to mooch details when you're in the real world.

Obviously glass underwater isn't going to work. You'll need to use acrylic panels or something. Even quite shallow water exerts a lot of pressure.

Also, think about how you keep the underwater surfaces clean. Your architecture won't look so impressive when its covered in a layer of algae and barnacles - unless that's what you want and you plan for it.

Goa? A lake in Kashmir? India's a big place...

glass will work if you use the right glass and detail it correctly

when i was there in 2000, there was a transparent underwater restaurant (inverted conical spiral) as part of the aquarium planned at the site of calatrava's city of arts and science in valencia. i don't know that this project was by calatrava, but it was adjacent to his science museum.

how cool would it be to be eating your dinner and looking out the window to underwater?

(actually there's a themed restaurant in nashville at opryland that's surrounded by an aquarium. despite the cheesiness factor, it IS pretty cool despite the not-so-good food.)

anybody know if they're still doing the valencia project?

I think they planned to do an underwater hotel in dubai. Also, Norman Bel Geddes proposed a dam/aquarium/restuarant for chicago in 1929
