After having looked at which connections/links are most important, and pointing these out, a modification of the grid/net seems locical. Wind is one of the main issues, and therefor long straigth roads and streets are not advisable, therefor by giving the roads a more irregular shape and creating some points where the road breaks, one is able to avoid creating big vindtunnels and also to create a more interesting walk trough the area. These breaks together with the smaller and narrower streets also create different spaces within (where roads cross etc) and shape the different quartiers.
Main links and movements within the site.
By stretching and twisting the net, a more diverse and flexible structure appears, which also has the ability of connecting to some of the main roads and connection in the surrounding area, and in that way lead into the new space. It also gives some more interesting and various shapes within the istmus, which can lay as the base for where to place the building/how to divide the area (phases..?)
By placing a regular dence grid over the existing city, we get a structure that relates to the existing citystructure which is mainly orientated with the landscape/conturelines, as well as it grabs onto the two sides and pulls them towards the middle (the site).

The promenade continues along the shore leading to the mountains. offer ing a range of recreational uses
The new boathouses placed along the har bour will provide better circumstances for the boat- owners and give space to smaller retailers offer ing a var iet y of exper iences for the users
INFRASTRUCTURE
The major it y of the existing infrastruc ture will be retained, however, the traffic will be diver ted allowing for the secure spaces
T H E F E S T I VA L A R E A
The new festival area where Summar Festivalur in will take place ever y year in august will be moved across the street from its cur rent location. The space will ser ve as a par k dur ing the year and the new buildings together with drainage system leading the water to the near by r iver, will secure better and more protec tive sur roundings for the festival than the cur rent situation.
THE LINKS The concept of the fishnet allows to develop K laksvík according to the same patter n as well as to connec t the cit y bet ween the t wo fjords and mountains
