Excerpt from The Building of an Island: Being a Sketch of the Geological Structure of the Danish West Indian Island of St. Croix, or Santa Cruz There are doubtless many people who find it easy to understand that the vegetation of an island, its trees, shrubs and herbs with their owers, may constitute a very attractive subject, and that the same may be true of its insects or its shells but it has, perhaps, never even occurred to them that the study of the solid-structure of the island can possess any great attraction. They have never asked themselves such questions as: What is beneath our feet? What is it made of? How came it there Is it a solid mass merely, or does it show arrangement of parts, and if so, of what parts, and how are those arranged? It is hoped by the writer that some at least of those who read these pages may come to see that such questions as these can be answered, and that the observations which we make in order to answer them lead to others, also of a very attractive character.

Islands are unique in their isolation, which allows for a self-sufficient infrastructure distant from the grid that connects most cities. Architecture can then be adapted to an island's location and shape to become most efficient and sustainable. Whether the island is floating or static in the area where it rests, architects can now design the island base which the building's envelope is anchored too. Islands serve a place of remembrance, getaways from everyday life and a personal sanctuary both emotional and physical. I am going to compare the contrasts between the floating and static islands and the benefits of them both. I will also investigate how they are constructed and their relation to infrastructure in or- der to determine their logistical value. Finally I will propose an educational facility, fro and island setting that will serve as a test case for broader questions or sustainability, operational systems and construction.

islands has emotional content far beyond any material significance because giving way on the island issue to Japan would be considered as once again compromising the sovereignty over the whole Korean peninsula. For Japan, the Dokdo issue may lack the same degree of strategic and economic values and emotional appeal as the other two territorial disputes that Japan has had with Russia and the two Chinas – namely the Northern Territories/Southern Kurile Islands and the Senkaku Islands, respectively. Nevertheless, fishing resources and the maritime boundary issues became highly salient with the introduction of UNCLOS. Also, the legal, political, and economic issues surrounding Dokdo are all intertwined with Japan’s other territorial disputes to the extent that concessions of sovereignty on any of these island disputes could jeopardize claims or negotiations concerning the rest. South Korea and Japan have forged a deeper diplomatic and economic partn- ship over the past decade. A new spirit of partnership after the landmark joint declaration of 1998 culminated in the successful co-hosting of the World Cup 2002. At the end of 2003 the two neighbors began to negotiate an FTA to further strengthen their already close economic ties. South Korea’s decades-long embargo on Japanese cultural products has now been lifted, while a number of South Korean pop stars are currently sweeping across Japan, creating the so-called “Korean Wave” fever. A pragmatic calculation of national interests would thus suggest cooperative behavior.
