Schwimmverein Donaukanal is a grassroots community initiative that aims to normalise swimming in Vienna's Danube Channel. Looking back at the history of swimming in the channel, we strive to reclaim these 850 000 square meters of liquid public space and bring Donaukanal swim culture and its natural ecosystem back to the Viennese way of life. SV DK activates this forgotten public space through the mere act of swimming and weaves a social fabric of courageous, pioneering urban swimmers.

Superwood is a new material that consists only of residual materials. It is made from recycled wood fibers mixed with casein and pressed into boards. We dispense with formaldehyde, a toxic glue used in 95% of all MDF boards. We obtain our binder from residues of the dairy industry. In this way, we combine two waste materials available in large quantities to create a new circular material. This not only makes our domestic space healthier, but also conserves natural resources such as our forests.
