“but this building serves a totally different purpose”
No, it’s the same purpose except the Stockholm version is bigger and also includes a small hotel/cafĂ©. The main purpose is public recreation and swimming.
Interesting idea but there are several BUT. Aside of legal permissions, a massive anchor and armatures would be needed for this river construction. The disassembly time and costs would be a question (i) every spring when snow and ice melts up the stream and (ii) before flood dangers (june 1997, august 2002). There is no other escape from that part of river than through narrow canal locks.
