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.

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.

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.
In his public lecture "Holding hands with the sun", Olafur Eliasson addressed the question of where an idea begins and the process of an idea becoming embodied in the world through a general introduction to his wide-ranging work. For Eliasson, art is a reality machine. Creativity is not located in the artist’s choice of an individual color; it has to do with the extent to which the artist succeeds in being in sync with the world in making this choice. Creativity is the passage by which the choice becomes ethical and political.
Eliasson’s collaboration with MIT focuses upon his art and social business enterprise Little Sun, a portable, solar powered lamp which he calls “a work of art that works in life.” He engaged with the MIT Energy Initiative (MITei), a multidisciplinary, Institute-wide research program working to find secure, economically viable and environmentally sustainable energy sources, the MIT DLab (Development through Dialogue, Design and Dissemination), the Sloan School of Management, the MIT Center for Civic Media and the MIT Museum, among others.
