Oil rigs turned into luxury hotels??

The answer is yes, Morris Architects' Hotelier At Sea project is certainly very innovative as it turns 4,000 decommissioned oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico into luxury hotels with a touch of the Dubai style. These oil rigs were meant to be decommissioned gradually, but Morris had a better idea. His recreational and luxurious concept proposed to convert this space into exclusive, self-sufficient eco-friendly, high-end resort islands off the Gulf of Mexico. It's being lovingly called American Dubai. The pictures look quite impressive. This is also a great service to Mother Nature as blowing up the oil rigs would really harm the sea life and not to mention the millions of dollars it would require.

Jean Nouvel's Aquatic Center

Les Bains des Docks by Jean Nouvel is its name, and destroying everything you thought you knew about what a swimming structure should be is its game. Nouvel’s design for an aquatic center is part of the Port 2000 development in Le Havre, France. The center itself consists of a staggering 12 pools and all the other stuff you’d want for a fun day in the water. The only thing that's missing is some turn tables and a Dj.
