A new network of lookouts

Childhood memories of exploring unfamiliar islands brought a realisation: don't we always want to climb to the highest point, get the best view, understand the character of the island we stand on and the landscape that surrounds us?

Several lookouts already exist in the archipelago, like those of Väderöarna and Dyngön - these are prominent physical references that attract plenty of visitors. Local artist Peter Engberg's 'Nödhamn' (above) is humorous, but serves to illustrate their powerful quality.

A renewed network of lookouts - utkikar - is thus proposed to frame the bold landscape and establish visual markers within the vast view of granite islands. The drawing above suggests two lookouts linking Kråkholmen island to the site.
