Partner Meeting in Reykjavik 3-6th September 2024

We have taken advantage of these days to the fullest, with an impressive program.

We assessed the work we have done so far and we also have heard studies made from Icelandic meteorologists about the effects the changing climate will bring upon us.

To make content in our studies we are fortunate to visit Icelandic communities, building sites and also an interesting nature house build for non emission and closed circuit systems. Iceland take advantage of the natural thermal heat and make the best of this “gold” they have. It makes an impression to see the eggplants, vines and banana trees thriving in the greenhouses here in the north.

The contractors and architects in Iceland take on the weather challenge in an impressive way. They take pride in doing research on the chosen material to be sure it can stand the test of time. #Buseti

The state of Iceland have built a new community in which to house the less privileged people. We got to visit this area, and are impressed with the way they have reused old houses and made them durable for the harsh weather conditions.

We were lucky to visit the most exciting building sites we have seen. In a secret location they are setting up an impressive house for a young family. The buildings and arcitecture are designed to flow with the nature, and it is built with concrete, stones and rock to look like it is emerging from the ground! The force of nature sets the boundaries for the building, but yet the architect makes thrilling choices that make this building immerse with the scenery and windspeed up to 50 km/hour. #Istak

In rural Erwan Iceland is taking on a project to get people to move back buy building decent housing / prices for regular people. It is a way to rebuild cities/ towns and getting people to move back. 

 This have been a boost for the continuing work in the project.

Thank you Iceland!
