Following the writings of the american activist Hakim Bey (TAZ \ temporary Autonomous Zone), The abandoned Maunsell Towers as new pirat islands could be an illustration of the deterritorialized territories of the XVII & XVIII centuries. These towers has been designed and realized by the architect and Designer Guy Maunsell in 1942 in relation to the Naval Sea Forts. It has been realized very fast in concrete and steel and it's no more than 30m High. Today just the Red Sands and Shivering Sands Forts are still existing. It has been used as Autonomous platforms in the 60's and 70's by pirates radio.
