i-land projects
We (help) build floating islands. Once, we had developed the modular floating island concept and construction system, we started spreading this social innovation for humanitarian and ecological benefits globally. We don´t know, whom our Open-Island system has inspired or helped somehow in building a floating island, but we´re involved in / connected with some independent floating island projects, sharing our philosophy and goals. Here, we´ll list these „i-lands“ and forward to their projects.
