In a few-years-time, people will be able to take a dip in a swimming pool located on a pedestrian bridge connecting Kársnes harbour in Kópavogur and Fossvogur in Reykjavík. The project is part of The Nordic Built Cities Challenge, which consists of six independent competitions, in “which six Nordic cities are looking for innovative and multidisciplinary solutions” to specific urban spaces.
The project, called Spot on Kársnes, proposes to transform Kársnes harbour, an industrial area of about 15,000 square metres, into a riveting, pedestrian-friendly residential area. The winning proposal, designed by Dagný Bjarnadóttir, Anders Egebjerg Terp and Gunnlaugur Johnson, includes two pedestrian bridges; one connecting Kársnes to Reykjavík in the north, the other one connecting the area to Bessastaðanes in the south. The bridge to Reykjavík will include a futuristic swimming pool which will boast an incredible view of the surrounding area.
