Lake Iseo, located in Lombardy, Italy, is set to be the subject of a series of floating piers that will be built far away from its shore. The project, titled descriptively 'The Floating Piers,' is the product of Christo Vladimirov Javacheff's creative mind -- an architect who was reportedly responsible for 'The Gates' installation in New York's Central Park.
With The Floating Piers, Christo Vladimirov Javacheff has planned for a 70,000 square meter construction to appear on Lake Iseo. The enormous docks will surround a small island on the water, named San Paolo. The installation will allow people to walk from Sulzano and take in the immaculate sights that can be seen from the pier, which includes views of the region and expansive mountain ranges.
