The project is walking on an edge where identity and sustainability meet each other. The mother of fossil fuels which have ruined the environment during years and now, it is Old Creatures. Nothing is new, everything is recycled, the old containers and the old barrels. The live facade made by sheets of the old containers, by changing the form according to the environmental situation, like a sailing ship, provides a safe and suitable situation for the inside of the oilrig in the extreme weather, It is closed when there is a storm and opened when the sun is shining, it can be an umbrella when outside is raining and adjust light when users need to have a little brightness. A carousel is an inviting object, it invites people to the oilrig to shows the beauty of the underwater. By developing the old containers we provide rooms for different scenarios, and also different types of furniture are made by cutting the barrels. It is a place where immigrants who left their land, can meet the ones who are coming for visiting the oilrig and the carousel.
The live facade made by sheets of used containers. Dynamic's fasad will change depends on the environmental situation, like a sailing ship, provides a safe and suitable situation for the inside of the oilrig in the extreme weather, It is closed when there is a storm and opened when the sun is shining, it can be an umbrella when outside is raining and adjust light when users need to have a little brightness.
The main access is by ships from the docks in the lowest part of the oil rig, from there, there are two vertical accesses to the highest level of the oil rig. The stairs go through the outside and they connected levels together while they make provide continuity relation between inside and outside. Two elevators are placed in the stair cases for people who are not able to use the stairs. In the first floors, Museum and Residential zones are placed, The Museum is connected to the Laboratory and Recreational zones in second floor and on the other side, a restauranthas placed above the residential zone.
In the residential zone, containers have ability to extend, and seprated restrooms will provide better situation for living in a limited area.
