Iconic architectural gem in Reykjavík

Culture

Message from Nicole Zohdi

Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre is a stunning architectural gem located in Reykjavík, Iceland. Designed by Henning Larsen Architects and artist Olafur Eliasson, the building boasts a unique colored glass façade inspired by Iceland's basalt landscape. Originally part of a larger redevelopment project, Harpa faced uncertainty during the 2008 financial crisis but was eventually completed in 2011 with government funding. Since then, it has become a hub for cultural events, concerts, conferences, and even made appearances in popular culture, like in the Netflix series "Sense8" and "Black Mirror." With its striking design and versatile spaces, Harpa continues to be a symbol of Iceland's resilience and creativity.
