Description
Artificial floating island in Graz-Austria, made of steel and glass reconnecting the city and its river. On the floating island, you can drink a coffee, listen to live music, and enjoy the view over the city from a different view. New York artist Vito Acconci designed an accessible artificial island to make the river accessible again. The project, constructed of 47m-long steel with curves and twisted shapes appearing like a half-opened shell, was a hit. Wave-like blue benches form an amphitheatre for events of all kinds. Under the water cooled domed glass roof, a café in blue and white offers the opportunity to enjoy floating on the Mur – a new feeling even for locals.
