Kvorning is the designer behind the Salon Eye Aquaculture exhibition center. The structure is shaped like a dead fish's eye to allude to the increasing need to project aquatic and marine life. The exhibition center floats on the Hardangerfjord, Norway's second-longest fjord and the fifth-longest in the world.
Salmon Eye's location is set on Norway's highest concentration of salmon farms, making it aptly named. Visitors can learn more about food production in the sea and local challenges and solutions through the projections on the walls inside the Salmon Eye. Additionally, the exhibit includes interactive displays. Thus far, the exhibit is still in its planning phase. Once it is built, the structure will be covered with 9,500 high-grade stainless steel plates designed like scales.
