The project adresses the paradox of industrial landscapes of 'The Green Transition' existing at the expense of natural value and biodiversity. With outset in the danish national plans of establishing 'Energy Islands', the project studies how power production infrastructure can act as natural canvas for habitat to evovle, in its context, instead of occupying it. The focus is on Hasle, Bornholm.

Landscape analysis of the natural impact of non-fossil plants. The Baltic sea has suffered from intense industrialization, captivating the largest contemporary marine dead-zone in the world. Now non-fossil plants, as substations for big-scale power transmission called 'energy islands', are on the edge of establishment in the ocean waterscape. This intensifies human pressure on biodiversity, the quality of water habitat and the nature value. Can these industrial plants work as a natural generator, instead of decomposer.

The projects seeks to challenge the architectural normatives of non-fossil plants. By analysing coastal properties of habitats and natural dynamics in the landscape context, a hybrid structure of technical volumes and a bioreceptive convex skin create new variable possibilities for biodiversity and natural value to flourish.

I juryens motivering sod bla: "Projektet ‘Energi-øer som hybridlandskab’ er en vision for, hvordan industrielle anlæg for vedvarende energi kan fodre artsrigdom og naturværdi i deres givne kontekst. Projektet tager afsæt i visionen om at etablere verdens første ‘Energi-ø’ ved Hasle på Bornholm. Havvindmølleparkerne og Energi-øen skriver sig ind i Østersøen som kontekst. Ved et studie af kysttypologiers egenskaber og dynamikker i konteksten, søger projektet at skabe habitat- og naturværdi på tværs af arter og være en vision for andre fremtidige anlæg i den grønne omstilling."
