The Fingerprints project is an imprint- reflection<br />

of the town Klaksvik, with its reserved<br />

nordic beauty, strong winds and people, who<br />

mostly consist of fishermen in many<br />

generations.<br />

The project unites four distinct areas — a<br />

community centre, residential area, hotel and<br />

transport hub.<br />

The community centre is an artificial green<br />

hill, a new form of town square, surrounded<br />

by public buildings. The town centre is<br />

completely pedestrian. All transport is concentrated<br />

next to the Klaksvik marina, on the<br />

site of a former parking lot, and includes a<br />

bus terminal, parking, and ferry quay. The hill<br />

will provide refuge from strong winds coming<br />

in from the bay during large public events.<br />

Towards the bay, it will form an amphitheatre<br />

for hosting festivals and concerts.<br />
