Reykjavik University Building : Architecture Information

Reykjavik University building, Iceland Henning Larsen Architects has been given the assignment to design Reykjavik’s new university, which bring together the existing functions in one campus area. The vision is to strengthen Reykjavik’s identity as a vibrant and supreme centre for education – attracting students and researchers from all over the world. In our proposal, the extensive building of 90,000 m2 has been designed as a circular, independent city with streets, squares and courtyards. According to the jury’s report, it is ‘the delicate structures and their harmony with the surroundings, which places the proposal in a league of its own’.
