This is the concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavik. It was opened in 2011.
I've read a few different stories about its design, but I like the one that says it is meant to look like the scales of a fish. In this shot it looks like some of the lights are out in the windows, it is actulaly just the angle the light has been caught at, just like the scales of a fish.
Although Reykavik was only a very short stopover, and the weather was miserable, there was one visit I couldn't miss: Harpa, the city's new concert center.
The windows on the left are meant to represent the Basalt columns found at a variety of sites around the country.
Harpa was designed by the Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects in co-operation with Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson

Harpa is one of Reykjavik‘s greatest and most distinguished landmarks. It is a cultural and social centre in the heart of the city and features stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the North Atlantic Ocean. Harpa is an enchanting destination for intrigued travellers and its grand-scale award-winning architecture has attracted 10 million guests since its opening, May 4, 2011.
Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre offers one of the best facilities for concerts and conferences in Northern Europe. Harpa has received numerous awards and prizes. Harpa was chosen one of the best concert halls of the new millennium by the prestigious music magazine Gramophone magazine and was chosen the best performance venue in 2011 by Travel & Leisure magazine. Autumn 2012 Harpa received the prestigious award as the Best MICE Centre in Northern Europe.
The name of the Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre was made public on 11 December 2009. The name Harpa was the winning name out of 4,156 proposals entered by 1,200 citizens. The demand was that the name should be in Icelandic but easily articulated in most languages. The name Harpa has more than one meaning. It is an old Icelandic word that refers to a time of year and is in fact a month in the old Nordic calendar. The first day of that month is celebrated as the first day of summer and marks the beginning of a brighter time where nature comes to live and the colours of the environment sharpen. Harpa also refers to the instrument that refers to the activities and operations within. In the opinion of some, Harpa looks likes a drawn harp from a certain angle.

Another image from the Harpa concert hall in Reykjavik. One of the most impressive pieces of modern architecture I've seen, with a certain fractal quality to it: the closer you look, the more fascinating details you see.
This is a ceiling detail, and reflections are of this gallery.
Explored 5/22/22 at #23. Rather unexpectedly, I thought it was too soon for an explore.

Harpa is a concert hall and convention center located in Reykjavik, Iceland. Its design is influenced by columnar basalt that is pervasive in Iceland due to its volcanic origins.
This is the third of three major design motifs. It is found on the ceilings and it consists of a combination of mirrored and black panels.
If you ever played the video game Qbert in the good old days, this ceiling reminds me of the landscape in that game :).
Harpa is Reykjavik's exhibition & concert hall and one of its prime architectural highlights. This view is from the shore walk east of it.
