The shipping industry in the Faroe Islands has taken away the citizens connection to the ocean in Tórshavn. The Wave is a social, cultural and production-based project placed on an industrial harbour site close to the city centre. Capitalizing on the Faroe Islands main resource, the strong power of waves create entertainment and energy production that invites people to explore the ocean.
