Dopo un viaggio in mezzo alla natura sconfinata Islandese, bisogna anche vedere la capitale: Reykjavík ed una delle tappe d'obbligo è l'Harpa Concert Hall, questa struttura inaugurata nel 2011 che con le sue particolari vetrate ricorda le colonne di basalti che si trovano qui in Islanda.
Harpa Concert Hall opened in 2011

Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre has won the World Architecture Award. The news came on day one of Harpa's three-day long opening festival.
The award is decided by the nominations of some 250 architects, university professors, critics and editors of architecture industry publications.
The 250 experts from around the world awarded 11 buildings from countries including India, China, Mexico, Brazil and Italy the prestigious prize this year.
This summer, you‘ll be able to book special guided tours through Harpa where you will be able to take a close look at its stunning halls and beautiful glass facade.
Harpa is one of Reykjavík´s greatest and most distinguished landmarks and a world-class concert house. Harpa was designed by the Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects in co-operation with Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. The structure consists of a steel framework clad with geometric shaped glass panels of different colors. In 2013, the building won the European Union's Mies van der Rohe award for contemporary architecture.
The design was influenced by Iceland‘s exceptional and dramatic nature. Situated on the boundary between land and sea, the building is a gleaming sculpture reflecting both sky and harbor, as well as the vibrant life of Reykjavik.

The glass facade, which covers the entire building, was designed by renowned visual artist Olafur Eliasson.
Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson designed the south facade, and developed the principle for the remaining north/east/west facades and roof in collaboration with Henning Larsen Architects and Batteríið Architects. Elíasson deploys light, colour and natural phenomena to test how physical movement, sensual engagement, and the interaction of body and brain influence our perception of our surroundings.
