单集简介 ...

Rising sea levels and a worldwide shortage of buildable land make the prospect of floating buildings and infrastructure more beneficial than ever. MAST is an architectural firm based in the southern harbour of Copenhagen in Denmark. Surrounded by shipbuilders and workshops, the MAST studio, run by two young passionate architects, devises and builds houses, community centres, saunas and whole neighbourhoods on water. While many of their projects can be seen on the waters of Copenhagen, the team is inspired by the long tradition of waterborne dwellings across the world and are currently working on constructions in Thailand, the Maldives, the USA , India and Portugal. Architecture critic and author Jonathan Glancey is invited to Copenhagen to see the studio in action and to travel out by boat to look at some of the completed projects.

  • Welcome to the documentary and this episode of In the Studio from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm on the harbour side in Copenhagen, Denmark's capital,

  • surrounded by boats and boat yards and workshops,

  • and the studio of a very innovative architecture practice called MAST.

  • Perhaps architecture is not the immediate word that comes to mind,

  • because what happens here is all about designing and making structures that float,

  • so a bit like marine engineering and shipbuilding.

  • I'm Jonathan Glancy, and like other architecture critics around the world,

  • I've long been interested in how design and engineering can come together in a firm-line mast to help solve some of the urban and environmental problems we face today.
