# Jutting Triangular Viewpoints The Utsitken Viewpoint in Norway Overlooks the Moutains By Joey Haar | Published 2016-08-22 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utsitken-viewpoint References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/793615/utsikten-viewpoint-code-arkitektur) & [code.no](http://www.code.no/pub/code/news/?aid=1163) Norway is known for its beautiful landscapes, and the Utsitken Viewpoint is a daring way to take in those sweeping vistas. The project, inspired by [brutalism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-dessarzin-jungle-sanctuary), consists of two triangular platforms that jut out over the edge of a cliff on Gaularfjell, a mountain that drivers often traverse. Utsitken Viewpoint has a bold design and from a distance, it seems as though it would take an even bolder spectator to take a look from its edge. The [two concrete triangles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-house-1) on Utsitken Viewpoint extend outwards and upwards, with one reaching more than 20 meters over the edge of the cliff and the other rising upwards at least a dozen meters. Passersby need not fear, though, as the concrete is 80 centimeters thick, providing ample support for any amount of viewers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Brutalist Architecture:** Exploring the opportunities to incorporate bold and daring designs in architectural projects. - **Adventure Tourism:** Capitalizing on the demand for unique and thrilling experiences in travel and tourism. - **Sustainable Construction:** Implementing eco-friendly materials and techniques in construction projects to minimize environmental impact. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Adopting innovative designs and materials to create visually stunning and functional structures. - **Travel and Tourism:** Creating unique and adrenaline-inducing experiences to attract adventure-seeking travelers. - **Construction:** Embracing sustainable construction practices to build environmentally-friendly structures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sloped Lake Slated Viewpoints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-jetty.md) - [Mountain-Based Curved Viewpoints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yunhai-forest-service-station.md) - [Single-Clad Alps Viewing Tower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/top-of-alpbachtal.md) - [Mountaintop Viewpoint Ski Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena.md) - [Canyon Viewing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/72-turns.md) - [Stone-Like Discreet Glass Viewpoints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drifting-stones.md) - [Timber Nature Reserve Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lookout-tower.md) - [Cantilevered Mountain Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutal-honesty.md) - [Spanish Mountain Pass Lookouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farrapona-geological.md)
