【作品介紹 Description】

Ø1 is a prototype floating island park designed by Marshall Blecher and Magnus Maarbjerg. It represents the first step in the ‘Copenhagen islands’ project which will see a collection of islands floating through the city, bringing life and activity back to the former industrial harbourside. The prototype (named after the single letter danish word for island) was recently launched and can be found floating around the south of Copenhagen harbour. It is open to the public and has so far been used for bbq’ing, stargazing, winter bathing, by local fishermen, and has hosted some small events. The 25m2 island was constructed by hand in the boat building yards in the south harbour of Copenhagen using traditional wooden boat building techniques and features a 6m linden tree growing at its centre. The project will see an archipelago of similar floating wooden islands scattered around the harbour supporting various functions. A floating sauna island, floating gardens, floating mussel farms and a floating diving platform that would be used freely by boaters, kayakers and bathers. The clear waters of the inner city harbour are being enjoyed by thousands of people every day with water that is now clean enough to swim in and eat some fish from. ‘Copenhagen islands’ will make the most of this new paradigm and provide a totally new type of public space for people to enjoy.
