Iceland and Architecture
Photos by Gudmundur Ingólfsson, Peter Cachola Schmal.
Until comparatively recently, Iceland’s architecture was determined by the lack of native trees on the island, which led to extraordinary clay structures covered in turf. With the invention of concrete, further stylistic leaps occurred--and again when Iceland briefly became one of Europe’s richest countries. This volume surveys Iceland’s unique conditions for architecture.
