in order to improve Murmansk. Key words for my interven- Putting up a “tent “ in

and diversity.
In all interventions have I focused on temporality both in a
longterm sense and shortterm. Hopefully my actions will
develop further by themselves, improving life in Murmansk
for both humans, landscape and wildllife.

5. APPLEFARM

After doing research and finding out that apple trees, allthough not
the same type in the south, do grow in the Arctic, I figured why not
plant one here in Murmansk, right next to the road for cars?
Maybe this could expand, attracting birds and wildlife, and the
people of Murmansk would harvest it and make cider, like a new
Hardanger?
On this collage I have also made a bigger space for vulnerable road
users, so that people easily could be either skiing in the winter or
bicycling in the summer.

8. MURMANSK EXPRESS
Murmansk has many traintracks. I have made use of
an unused one and turned it into a different kind
travelling for murmansk citizens. It is faster, more
eco-friendly than cars and more fun.
It connects my other interventions in the city.
9. BIRDS NEST
The idea of the birds nest is to incourage people to go out of the city
and and see the surrounding nature and wildlife.
It is mainly a pathway out of the city which ends up on a mountaintop
nearby.The path is easy on the landscape.It can easily change direc-
tion and spread out grains.
The current endstop is a viewpoint where one can look at the city
from afar, with a birds view, without any enormous statues next to
you.
