The fish building is a fine example of mimetic or novelty architecture. The exterior shell combines R.C.C., Aluminium composite panels, stainless steel, and glass panels. The giant structure includes fins, glassy blue eyes, and scales that resemble a fish. When seen from a distance, it looks like the fish is swimming mid-air.
