ARCHITECTURE GONE FISHING RECENT STUDIES PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL “SCIENCE” IN 2006, PREDICT THAT BY THE YEAR 2048, THERE WILL BE NO FISH IN THE OCEANS LEFT TO FISH DUE TO HUMAN ACTIVITY IN THE OCEANS. THIS PROBLEMS TRIGGERS A CHAIN REACTION THAT ULTIMATELY REACHES US AND CAUSES PROBLEMS TO OUR WORLD AND OUR WAY OF LIVING. EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE IS ALREADY AHEAD OF US, TECHNIQUES SUCH AS AQUACULTURE HAVE PROVEN TO BE EFFICIENT AGAINST THE LOSS OF WILD CATCH AND THE RESTORATION OF MARINE POPULATIONA AROUND THE GLOBE.
IN THIS THESIS, THE IDEA OF USING A NEW ARCHITECTURAL TYPOLOGY AS A HELPING TOOL TO REINFORCE THE EXISTING SOLUTION OF FISH FARMING, CALLED AQUACULTURE, IS EXPLORED. VIA RESEARCH DONE IN VARIOUS AREAS FROM MARINE ECOLOGY TO THE SPECIFICS OF THE BLUEFIN TUNA, A FISHERY RESEARCH PORT WILL BE DESIGNED IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE VARIOUS FISHING-RELATED ACTIVITIES. DUE TO THE CURRENT STATE OF FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE PRODUCITON IN A GLOBAL SCALE, THIS NEW BUILDING WILL FOCUS ON THE PERFECTION OF THE PROCESSES OF AQUACULTURE DEALING SPECIFI-

CALLY WITH THE PACIFIC BLUEFIN TUNA, IN ORDER TO REPOPULATE THE SPECIES AND HELP WITH THE LOCAL ECONOMY, SURROUNDING ECOSYSTEMS, AS WELL AS TO GIVE A HELPING HAND TO THE OCEANS IN A GLOBAL SCALE. THANKS TO THE TYPOLOGY OF THE PROGRAM, ALL FISHERIES NEED TO HAVE A SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT AREA TO PROVIDE EFICIENCY AND RESOURCES, AS WELL AS A FULLY EQUIPED PORT FOR THE OCEANOGRAPHIC VESSELS AND INSTRUMENTS.
