Salmon Eye
Eide Fjordbruk is unveiling Salmon Eye, a floating aquaculture information center and art installation in Norway’s Hardangerfjord, located just outside Rosendal. Its unique architecture, design, and immersive experience installations have been created by Kvorning Design, intending to inspire and inform the world on how to better feed the planet with sustainable seafood. The project was conceived and financed by Sondre Eide, the CEO and third-generation salmon farming business of Eide Fjordbruk.
鮭魚之眼
Eide Fjordbruk推出了名為「鮭魚之眼」的浮動館，該館揉合了的海產養殖資訊中心和藝術裝置，位於挪威哈當厄爾峽灣（Hardangerfjord）外的羅森達爾（Rosendal）。其獨特的建築、設計以及沈浸式體驗裝置皆由Kvorning Design一手打造，旨在啟發和向世界宣導如何透過永續性的養殖海產更好地循環供應給地球上的人口。此館是由Eide Fjordbruk的CEO兼第三代鮭魚養殖企業家 Sondre Eide所構想和資助的。
What you see is what you get
Salmon Eye is a world-class visitor and learning center designed to communicate the impact of aquaculture and its production techniques. The exterior design of the center mimics the shiny, silvery skin of salmon and the shape takes after the fish’s eye – hence the name of the center Salmon Eye. It glistens brightly in the Hardangerfjord, one of Norway’s most stunning fjords, and can be seen from miles away – it can even be seen from an airplane landing at the nearby airport or through the latest uploaded satellite images made by Google Earth. Indeed, it is quickly becoming an iconic, floating landmark in Norway.
Arne Kvorning, CEO of Kvorning Design and mastermind of the architectural design of the pavilion, is very satisfied with the outcome, especially because the unveiling of the pavilion revealed how the produced design stayed completely true to the sketches and visuals he made back in 2019:
Salmon Eye will become an international design icon for Eide Fjordbruk and revolutionize sustainable aquaculture in the future. I am convinced that the floating aquaculture information center and art installation will be setting new standards for sustainable aquaculture in every aspect. Design, interaction, research, technology, and immersive experiences. I am extremely thrilled to experience how the initial ideas are intact.’
你看到的就是你得到的
「鮭魚之眼」是一個世界級的遊客和學習中心，旨在傳達海產養殖及其生產技術的影響。此館的外觀設計仿效了鮭魚閃亮的銀色皮膚，外觀形狀則模仿了魚眼，因此命名為Salmon Eye（鮭魚之眼）。它在哈當厄爾峽(Hardangerfjord)上閃閃發光，這是挪威最迷人的峽灣之一，在幾英里之外的遠處就能看見，甚至可以從準備降落在附近機場的飛機上也清晰可見，或透過Google上傳的最新衛星圖像也都能看到。實際上，它正相當迅速的成為挪威指標性的浮動海標。
Arne Kvorning是浮動館的建築設計師，同時也是Kvorning Design的CEO，他對於該館的成果感到非常滿意，特別是因為在開幕發表會上公開了他2019年所繪製的草圖和視覺效果與實際落成的情況完全符合：
「鮭魚之眼將成為Eide Fjordbruk的國際性指標設計，並徹底改變未來的永續性海產養殖方式。我相信，這個浮動海產養殖資訊中心和藝術裝置在各方面將為海產養殖的永續發展設定新的標準，包括設計、互動、研究、技術和沈浸式的體驗。」
Sustainable aquaculture in new evolutionary way
Salmon Eye intends to be a leading forum for learning, teaching, and holding open discussions about tomorrow’s salmon farming. The aim is to build and evolve toward creating highly sustainable means of aquaculture practices. For many years now Eide Fjordbruk has been on the forefront of developing highly sustainable salmon farming: indeed, they were the first fish farming company to produce carbon-neutral salmon and the first to share environmental reports. One of their latest implemented policies was to have their working boats and facilities be fully operational on green energy. In addition, they are also in the final phase of developing a new closed technology system, called Watermoon, which enables them to farm in the fjord with no negative impact on the local environment, climate, and other animal and plant species.
永續海產養殖的新進化方式
多年來，Eide Fjordbruk一直致力於開發高度永續的鮭魚養殖技術：事實上，他們是第一家生產碳中和的鮭魚養殖公司並率先分享環境報告，而近期實施的新政策是將工作船和設施全面投入使用綠色能源。此外，還處於開發最後階段的封閉式系統，稱為 Watermoon的技術，該系統使他們能夠在峽灣進行養殖，對當地環境、氣候以及其他動植物物種沒有負面影響。「鮭魚之眼」旨在成為一個領先學習、教學和開放討論關於明日鮭魚養殖的論壇，其目標是建立和發展高度永續的海產養殖方式。
