This is the striking facade of Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre in Reykjavik. The windows recall the columnar jointing of basalt lava flows which can be seen in Iceland (and elsewhere).

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.
While most of the glass panels appear to be uniformly transparent, some small number of them are of a different color and are reflective. I suspect that these panels are made of dichroic glass, which reflects a different color than it transmits.
For a geometry geek such as myself, Hapra is a dream subject. I think that I shot more photos of Harpa than another subject in Iceland :).

'Harpa' means harp in Icelandic and is also the Icelandic name for the month of spring when the days get longer and less dark.
The Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre in Reykjavik
Die Beleuchtung der Harpa ist ein zentrales Element des Konzerthauses und wurde in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Künstler Ólafur Elíasson entwickelt. Die Fassade besteht aus dichroitischem Glas, das je nach Lichteinfall und Tageszeit unterschiedliche Farben und Reflexionen erzeugt und so einen Bezug zur isländischen Natur herstellt. Im Inneren sorgen speziell entwickelte LED-Leuchten für eine kaleidoskopartige Licht- und Schattenwirkung, die an die Nordlichter erinnern soll.
Harpa's lighting is a central element of the concert hall and was developed in close collaboration with the artist Ólafur Elíasson. The facade is made of dichroic glass, which creates different colors and reflections depending on the light and time of day, thus establishing a reference to Icelandic nature. Inside, specially designed LED lights create a kaleidoscopic effect of light and shadow, reminiscent of the Northern Lights.

Day 12 From Knarrarholt to hotel Arnarhvoll in Reykjavik.
Roads 32, 31, 35, 351, 36, 360, 36, 1. Length :120 km
The roads to Reykjavik are getting busier and the area flatter, greener and less exciting.
There are some highlights along the way that are definitely worth checking out.
-The Kerið Volcanic Crater lake (road 35). It is 55m deep and 170-270 m wide. The water is aquamarine and the surrounding walls are red and green. You can walk around the crater and you can enter it too.
-Another point of interest is the Þingvellir national park(road 36).Here you can walk in the rift valley that marks the boundary between the North American and the Eurasian tectonic plates.
-The Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Station (road 435, side road of360), the second-largest geothermal power station in Iceland. It also delivers around 1,100 litres of hot water 82–85 °C per second serving the space heating and hot water needs of the Captital Region. A lot of steam en a beautiful orange landscape.
Our hotel Arnarhvoll in Reykjavik is located opposite Harpa, a concert hall and conference center. For me is Harpa the most beautiful building in Iceland both inside and out.
In 2013, the building won the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture for its excellent architecture with the glass facade inspired by Icelandic nature. The facade is made up of many three-dimensional glass and steel elements in basalt form. Similar mirror elements can be found in the ceiling. When it is dark, light is projected on the facade of the building. It creates a magical light show reminiscent of the Northern Lights or the beautiful light and colors reflected in the sky at different times of the year when the weather changes.
Harapa was designed by architect Henning Karsen from Copenhagen and with Batterlid arkitektar Hafnarfjördur
Artist Olafur Eliasson designed the glass façade together with the architects.

Harpa (English: Harp) is a concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavík, Iceland. The opening concert was held on 4 May 2011. The building features a distinctive colored glass façade inspired by the basalt landscape of Iceland.
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 colours.
By the way, the rain and strong wind in the photograph do not in any way detract from the impressive architecture of this building.
