KVORNING is a key part of the winning team behind the interpretation project ‘The Island of the Deviants – Livø: A Holistic Historical Experience.’ The contract was won together with E+N Architecture (lead), LYTT Architecture, and Henry Berthelsen Consulting Engineers.
The story of Livø is the story of the country’s oldest island institution, which from 1911 to 1961 housed men who were considered undesirable by society. It is an important part of Danish history and, at the same time, provides essential insight into past views of humanity and the treatment of marginalized groups in society.
Since December 2024, the Danish Nature Agency, Vesthimmerlands Museum, and Aalborg University, in collaboration with Realdania, the Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen Foundation, and the Augustinus Foundation, have been working on the project, which aims to renew the interpretation and improve access to the island’s powerful stories and unique natural environment.
The visitor and interpretation facilities are expected to be completed in June 2028.
