This
proposal was created for the
Music Hall competition, where a building was
to built in no-mans land near the harbor.
The idea was to counter the competition's
anti-urban parameters and provide a new
framework for an expanded downtown Reykjavík, with
plenty of urban building lots for future
businesses, public buildings and housing,
with an urban waterfront. The new streets
would be actual urban streets and connect
directly into the existing downtown area
while a generous expansion landfill rather
easily created as required in the future.
Enlargement of the midtown area of Downtown
Reykjavik as a real city structure is here
proposed as the priority, instead of
proposing another singular sculptural
entity.
Unfortunately,
due to the terrorist attack on 911 and our
close proximity to WTC, the proposal was not
submitted. It was, however exhibited in
my exhibition in the Museum of
Design and Applied Arts in Garðabær Iceland
in 2002, along with my other design work.
