Document Summary
1: the aurland lookout was designed with minimalism in mind. It was built so as to not disrupt the landscape. Goal was to prioritize nature [and] have a minimum impact on the existing landscape and terrain. it is built into the mountainside. The structure is covered with wood and makes it blend in more with the surroundings. The glass at the end of the structure makes the view look more natural. It teaches about the beauty of nature and hopefully encourages people to think about preserving this kind of wonderful view to generations after us. It also informs visitors about the fjords that are native to norway. It has bene tted the tourism industry in the local area of norway. The beautiful view has been featured in ads and has attracted even more tourists. However, the more tourists, the more prone it is to things like litter, graf ti and other things that could destruct the ecosystem of the fjord.
