Blue buckets collecting water dripping from the roof in various places This architectural realism is a very deliberate choice that aims to maintain the raw aesthetic that is so fashionable in design nowadays. There are even little scribbles on the walls, construction notes made by the surveyors or the builders. There are numbers marking the different levels of oil that was contained and traces of bolts and rods possibly needed when the tanks functioned as containers. The concrete walls are bare revealing the way they were moulded. In fact the original tanks are still right there. So, it is quite difficult to evaluate the Tanks because both qualities they incorporate compete with each other having not been manipulated very carefully. To start, two qualities that seem to clash are found here, that of a space that existed previously but had a different use (the original oil tanks), and that of the footprint of a building that has not been built yet. Still there is much more that seems weird in this space’s layout.
