Description
Murinsel is a floating island on the Mur River in Graz, Austria. It serves as both a bridge and a cultural space, combining elements of architecture, urban planning, and design. The structure is an iconic piece of public art, offering a place for recreation and social gatherings. Its design allows it to float on the river, contributing to the city's unique waterfront landscape.
Samenvatting (Dutch description)
In 2003 the New York artist Vito Acconci anchored the extraordinary architecture in the Mur. An island in the middle of the city. As a platform and bridge at the same time.
2011 Graz became a UNESCO City of Design, part of an international network where design and the conscious creation of living space are of central importance.
2017 the Murinsel presents itself anew.
The spectacular architecture is now seen as the hub, hotspot and the showroom of the Graz design scene. The island invites you to discover extraordinary products from domestic creative industry and to embrace the different facets of the great theme of design.
