HA – Magazine on Icelandic design and architecture

Transformations —illustrated a selection of modernist buildings in Reykjavik

by HA magazine

Reykjavik has many examples of architecture from the sixties and seventies, as large parts of the city were built during that period. Now, 40-50 years later, many of these buildings have undergone extensive changes. Architekt Garðar Snæbjörnsson has illustrated a selection of modernist buildings in Reykjavik, showing how they have changed from past to present. (Garðar´s illustrations were shown on Design March 2018)
