01
Concept
Decommissioned offshore drilling rigs in the Adriatic Sea transformed into offshore mussel farming plants — economically efficient and ecologically restorative.
02
System Logic
Rig superstructure → processing/storage levels. Substructure → aquaculture net frames and breeding rafts. Tidal energy → kinetic power generation. Water collection → purification loop.
03
Process
Site analysis of Adriatic platforms → ecological feasibility → structural adaptation → sustainable systems integration (wind/solar/tidal) → interior spatial programming.
04
Outcome
Replicable offshore aquaculture model that transforms industrial waste into productive marine ecosystems.
