Airo Island in Austria


Built in 2003, this piece of work is called the Airo Island, located on the Mur River in Austria. Vito Acconci, Brookly-based artist/architect is the main designer. It features a sunbathing elevated terrace, modern bar, and a coffee house. The piece of artwork allows circulation from both shores of the Mur River. Airo Island's inverse ramps that circulate traffic in and out of the "hub" reminds me of Corbu's Carpenter Center in Cambridge, Boston.
