Thanks to a perceptive reader, the Statoil ads that originally inspired BLDGBLOG’s Offshore post have been located.
So here they are…
You’re looking at offshore, utopo-stilted versions of Russia, Rome, New York, Baku, and the Sahara. Design enough of these and you could probably get an M.Arch. degree…

Something I meant to post on the previous iteration of this subject…

BTW, with BLDGBLOG’s interest in surveillance and architectures of control, I wonder if some posts on America’s great architectural program — prisons — may be in order.
We have the highest percentage of citizens in prison of any country on earth. I wonder what fabulous structures we’ve built to control and seal off the two million Americans we have locked up.
