The EPFAR project is an experimental platform for aquaculture research as an extension of the old Biological station of Naples. It is based on the strong relation of Naples with the sea and fisheries, and is set on an old industrial pier used for coal transportation during the first world war. Water is the heart of the project.

The aim is to create a circuit out of the existing pier with the construction of a building in each end, which produces a tense relation between the anchor building and the floating one. The anchor building is a crossroads in the site square opening up to the pier. The floating building is the finality. More than just a laboratory, it’s a place for meeting, discussion, contemplation, open to the sea.
