The vessel comprises 168 suites from 30 to 300 m2, 680 m2 of spa, eight restaurants, an art gallery, a theatre, several indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts and a golf driving range. One can buy or rent an apartment – upon proof of a minimum wealth. ResidenSea is a consequent perfection of offshore investment schemes. The holding companies are registered in tax havens around the world. It is not by coincidence that ResidenSea has been developed by the same firm (FDP Savills) which has participated in the creation of golf resorts like Quinta do Lago in Algarve (Portugal).

Hookway (1999): “Information processing begins to transpire so quickly … that it is said to seem essentially timeless; the communication networks have quickly developed to the point where information processing has become indistinguishable from that of communication itself.”

This aspect is central to Heidegger’s notion of “building equalling dwelling” (Bauen ist Wohnen), referring to the linguistic roots of the latter, indicating a condition of being, of being at peace (Heidegger 1951).
 
10
A term used by Bernardo Secchi and Paola Viganó in the description of post-Fordist space.

Koolhaas (1999): “The alchemistic promise of modernity – the transformation of quantity to quality by means of abstraction and repetition – has not been fulfilled. We have all believed the trick, but no wonder has occurred.”

Facilitating the Banality of Evil that Hannah Arendt described in her record of the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem 1961.

Referring to pre-civil-war America, Myrdal (1944) points out: “Southern whites do not want Negroes to be totally segregated from them: they derive many advantages from their proximity … (T)here is also segregation, but the segregation is based on what we may term ‘ceremonial’ distance rather than spatial distance”, cited in Marcuse (1997).

Fernando Henrique Cardoso (economist and president of Brazil from 1995 to 2003): “In countries with large populations, such as Brazil and India, consideration must also be given to the operation of the so-called informal economy, as far as job creation is concerned.”
 
15
Such as Germany’s 1 Euro-Jobs.
 
16
Such as in the Shared Space urban design schemes originally devised by Hans Monderman in the Netherlands – eliminating traffic signs and the usual separation between walkway and carriageway. This model, which has a proven effect of increasing traffic safety and comfort, is now being applied in many European cities.
