What
Open Island in South Goa is a sustainable floating island made from recycled materials. Launched on February 14 this year, the island was constructed during a five-week workshop held this year, as part of the third edition of the ASAP Island project (which aims to build artificial islands with an inter-disciplinary team). The floating island can house two people and includes a shelter, a garden, compost toilet and a solar cooker. Construction materials included wooden grids, bottles, nets and ropes. Social sculptor Joy Lohmann (Germany), Vinesh Iyer, Deepak Pathania and Darryl Norohna (all from Goa) comprise the team behind this effort.
