"Sea Organ" Makes Haunting Music With Ocean Waves

Croatian architect Nikola BaÅ¡ić has created a beautiful piece of architecture that merges the modern city with nature and playfulness.

His incredible “Sea Organ” graces the coast of Zadar in Croatia. The musical jetty was finished in 2005 and covers a stretch more than 70 meters (230 feet) long. The work was only made possible by drawing on experts from many different fields, from engineers, craftsmen, and even a professor of music who tuned the pipes correctly.

This isn’t the first piece of urban design to integrate the rhythms of the seaside with architecture. Peter Richards and George Gonzalez designed a very similar piece, which they also called “The Wave Organ,” in the San Francisco Bay area in 1986.

The morske orgulje is simply mesmerizing, I spent my first night in Croatia listening to it.

Very inspiring.
