Inhabitat.com has pictures of and information about a design for the Oceanic Pavilion for the 2012 Yeosu Expo (2012 여수세계박람회), an event with the theme "Living Ocean and Coast."
Intended as a centerpiece for the expo, the Oceanic Pavilion is a “celebration of the ocean as a living organism and the co-existence of human culture and ocean ecosystem.” Designed with the help of computer scripts, the amphibious pavilion is made from a series of ETFE membranes and armature that take on a life of their own through their organic layout.
Commenters note the another resemblance. Writes Dim:
Having a giant beached whale covered in oil is maybe not the best way to “celebrate the ocean as a living organism”
Emergent Architecture and Kokkugia have more on their design, and a March 1st post has more on the other cool buildings and new stuff going to Yeosu in 2012.

Uh, isn't it a bit too late to be "planning" to build such buildings for the Expo?
It looks like the decomposing corpse of a fish with the veins and sinews starting to show through.
Wonder what it smells like...
One word: Alien organ autopsy.
WORD VERIFICATION: prenemi, someone who will eventually become your enemy, like the aliens you're performing autopsies on.
It needs some sort of cover a sack if you will...I think it looks lie testicles ewwww
