About Discussions Projects4 Journals5 Publications1

Island projects present unique design challenges that combine environmental sensitivity with creative spatial solutions. Designers working on islands must consider isolation, accessibility, and the relationship between built structures and natural landscapes.

The community explores island interventions ranging from adaptive reuse of existing homes to new cultural infrastructure and experimental floating architecture. Projects demonstrate how islands serve as sites for community development, environmental restoration, and architectural innovation.

Proximity Island is the full-fledged cultural environment on a platform that is initially divorced both physically and semantically from the world of art and ordinary human life. It is the symbol of the sea, a symbol of the unity of architecture and nature.
