Harpa concert hall (2011) designed by Olafur Eliasson. A statue of the famous Scandanavian cellist Erling Blondal Bengtsson stands in front of the concert hall, Reykjavik, Iceland. The front facade of the building is formed from glass blocks designed to look like columnar basalt blocks reflecting the volcanic heritage of Iceland. iPhone photo.
The concert hall in Reykjavik Iceland. A shot from my trip last October.
Quite controversial that it was built in the first place following the financial collapse of the country and apparently it was the only active building site in Iceland for several years. Now since it's completion it's become one of the City's landmarks and rightly so.
It's very eye-catching particularly at night and the minimalist architecture and design influenced by the Icelandic landscape are quite stunning and very Scandinavian.
With an economy now very dependent on tourism and a location used for public events I dread to think of the impact Coronovirus will have on it but no doubt it will see the crisis through. Everything is cancelled or postponed when you look on their website currently
I didn't get the chance to see an event here but would love to, it looks a great venue which reminds me of the Oslo Opera House which is equally stunning.
Harpa is a concert hall and conference centre in Reykjavík, Iceland. The structure consists of a steel framework clad with geometric shaped glass panels of different colours.

El edificio Harpa es un centro de conciertos y conferencias de Reikiavik, la capital de Islandia, en el distrito occidental de Miðborg. En su diseño participaron el estudio de arquitectura Henning Larsen, el artista Olafur Eliasson y Artec Consultants Inc. Está ubicado frente al mar.

"Reminiscent of the crystalline basalt columns commonly found in Iceland, the geometric facades of Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre were based on a modular, space-filling structure called the quasi brick. Originally developed by geometer and mathematician Einar Thorsteinn in the 1980s, following fifteen years of research into the topic, the quasi brick is a twelve-sided polyhedron consisting of rhomboidal and hexagonal faces.
In 2002, Eliasson and Thorsteinn began investigating the potential for using the quasi brick in architecture. When the modules are stacked, they leave no gaps between them, so they can be used to build walls and structural elements. The combination of regularity and irregularity in the modules lends the facades a chaotic, unpredictable quality that could not be achieved through stacking cubes. As a result, the facades for Harpa are both aesthetically and functionally integral to the building.
Only the main south facades of Harpa employ the three-dimensional quasi bricks; the irregular geometric patterns of the west, north, and east facades were derived from a two-dimensional sectional cut through the three-dimensional bricks.
The quasi brick modules incorporate panes of colour-effect filter glass, which appear to be different colours according to how the light hits them; the building shimmers, reacting to the weather, time of year or day, and the position and movements of viewers.
Olafur Eliasson and his studio designed the facades of Harpa Reykjavik Concert Hall and Conference Centre in collaboration with Henning Larsen Architects."
