Aiola Island- the coolest man-made island ever?

Aiola Island

Do you think your island is cool? You won’t after you see Aiola Island, a bowl-shaped island located in the middle of the river Mur in the city of Graz, Austria. Built by New York architect Vito Acconci in 2003, the island sports a cafe, bar, sun bathing area, and nightclub. The island serves the important role of bridging both sides of the river, and even lights up at night! See more pictures after the jump.

Surprisingly, there is little info on the web about this amazing structure. Are there any Austrians reading this who can fill us in?
