What backs it

The Whale, a new knowledge and experience center opening in 2027 in Andenes, Norway, features an undulating concrete roof designed by architect Dorte Mandrup that resembles a whale diving into the water, with a walkable lookout point covered in natural stone and a column-free interior that integrates the surrounding coastal landscape.

Worth noting

This is an upcoming building, not yet open; it is scheduled for June 2027.
