The project proposes to create kongshavnfjordpark, a marine knowledge centre. The starting point is the proximity to the fjord, the missing alna river delta, and the underlying geology. From this the a naturum for the city emerges and to build a place that is grounded in its context and will increase knowledge and culture around the new blue marka and its ecosystem. Naturum is a swedish concept of establishing a gateway to nature worth visiting, with the aim of spreading knowledge and inspiring visitors to go out and explore nature on their own. Kongshavnfjordpark can be the first naturum in norway and a starting point or mothership for further establishment of "naturum" throughout the country.
