Lost in the middle of Vatnajökull National Park, the project serves as a temporary shelter for travelers touring around Iceland. Two walls of local stone form the structural basis of a lightweight modular structure that can adapt according to specific conditions. This system allows multiple locations, leaving just minimal impact on the earth. The project core idea is based on Iceland’s geological uniqueness – Iceland lies on the divergent boundary between the Eurasian plate and the North American plate. The walls are a metaphor of the place where these two tectonic plates meet to create a rich geographical and natural environment. The project aims to transmit ideas about Iceland’s origins and the very special location where they are. specific conditions.
