marshall blecher & studio fokstrot have unveiled a system of floating islands for copenhagen that seeks to provide a new type of public space for the city’s harbor. designed as a sort of parkipelago, the copenhagen islands will be open and free to be used by boaters, fishermen, kayakers, stargazers, swimmers, or just anyone that wants to be outside.
the copenhagen islands by marshall blecher & studio fokstrot are an ecosystem of their own and feature endemic plants, trees and grass above the water, providing a habitat for beds and insects. underwater, anchor points give seaweeds, fish and mollusks a new home. the islands offer a constantly changing, generous green space in the center of the city, hinting at a new type of climate resilient urbanism. the floating structures are inherently flexible in their use and use materials that are both sustainable and recycled.
