As the perception around nature is shifting, we need to define a more symbiotic relationship between the built environment, the Danish landscape and its travelers. Forms of Reciprocity in shape of accommodation placed around Salten Langsø, where the lodges are designed in close relation with existing phenomena, to create access and awareness towards the underappreciated Danish domestic nature.
The concept of reciprocity that we introduce with the title of our thesis, is defined in our project as the ideology of partnership, where mutual benefits are exchanged. Specifically the relationship between the traveler, the Danish landscape and the architectural structure that we create. Forms of Reciprocity is seen as a catalyst for the Danish traveler to experience the existing natural phenomena of our context, Salten Langsø, where the architecture is the tool facilitating human interaction with nature in a humble and respectful way, seen as a guest on site.

Researching the location for our intervention, we traveled to several places in Jutland, before we decided on the area of Salten Langsø. Choosing this site had very much to do with the fact that this area had the most inaccessible and underappreciated landscape, of all the places we visited.
