The architecture of Iceland was traditionally influenced by the lack of trees but generally it draws from Scandinavian influences. As a result, grass- and turf-covered houses were developed but independence movements in Iceland gained a lot of support during the early part of the 20th century. Concrete was first used on a major scale as a building material in this period and became extremely popular as an easy and economical construction material. The material has shaped Icelandic architecture from this period. I aimed to capture more traditional architecture, architectural techniques and its unique style to show what exactly represents Icelandic culture and how Icelandic people needed to optimize their houses accordingly to the climate conditions. In the same time I have aimed to capture an Icelandic landscape too, and as you can see buildings extremely fit into the nature and mesh together with the local conditions. See a few various styles below that I have captured while travelling around Iceland.
