Danish architecture studio Dorte Mandrup designed the plans for the Whale, a whale-spotting platform and museum near the village of Andenes on the northern island of Andøya, Norway.Norway is home to some impressive architectural attractions, including a contemporary art museum that doubles as a twisting bridge above a river (north of Oslo) and a semi-submerged structure on the country’s southern coast that’s considered the world’s largest underwater restaurant. An equally mind-blowing building is in progress on the rugged coast of Andøya, the northernmost island in Norway’s Vesterålen archipelago. Dubbed the Whale, the design-forward structure will serve as a coastal viewpoint and an educational museum for visitors seeking out the area’s abundant marine wildlife.
