John G. Shedd is the one who inspired the aquarium. I don't know if he created it, though.

ANSWER:

In 1925, the Chicago architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst & White was hired to design the Shedd Aquarium in the Beaux Arts tradition. The chief architect was Ernest Graham, who had worked for Daniel Burnham, (one of the city's premier architects). The aquarium was his firm's last Beaux Arts building, and the grandest one they designed.

Shedd, a philanthropist, as a cultural and educational institution in Chicago. The aquarium aims to inspire people to protect and preserve the world's oceans and aquatic habitats.
