Seaports of Gaza

The Seaports of Gaza | University of Westminster Thesis Project

Situated two miles off the coast of Gaza, a series of steel rebar monoliths teeter, chime and sway 200 meters above the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. These ad-hoc towers anchor a symbiotic axial system of energy production, fishing industry and material manufacture that link with and directly serve the major urban areas of Gaza. The scheme can be divided into two distinct functions: the compliant (visible) and the subversive (submerged).
