ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how the architecture of a series of wind shelters recently designed and constructed in northeast Norway affects, as Ingold refers to it, the touristic way of moving through the world. In order to minimize the impacts of tourism and of outdoor recreation on nature, it is important to consider how and where to situate and locate infrastructure, such as wind shelters, in nature. Thus, the shelters invite designers and planners to be sensitive to the rhythms of nature and the rhythms of people dwelling in the shelters. The capacity of the shelters to help us to focus can be taken further. In special cases, the shelter enhances the experience of wilderness by directly impacting our way of engaging with nature. In the architectural design concept of 'sky' the architectural solution invites us to lie down, to be still, to look up and to focus on the moments and movements of the sky.
