Tanker Settlement, 2067

A screaming came across the sky…..

In the post- apocalyptic scenario the carcass of a beached oil supertanker becomes the basis for a complex human ecology. The structure is communally re- appropriated, erected vertically and embedded in the shore of a former metropolitan port. The former boat serves the dual purpose of shelter and elevated protection. An aggregate develops as the boat is mined for parts in some places and fortified in others. As the system evolves, the structural integrity of the vessel remains in a fragile balance with the forces of reassembly, rust and human relations.
