The Culture House
The Culture House is a venue for Icelandic national heritage in a nutshell. The operations mainly entail diverse exhibitions. Contracts are made with relevant institutions regarding short or long term exhibitions. The Culture House thus serves as a common centre for Icelandic cultural heritage institutions with high-quality exhibitions on selected national treasures. There are facilities for exhibitions, meetings, gatherings, lectures, artistic events, public ceremonies and other occasions.
Exhibitions in the Culture House are expected to reflect the trends and currents in society and present varied past and present cultural aspects. The Culture House is a heritage building and its use today takes into consideration the building's protected status and historical value. The setting for exhibitions is the building itself, an architectural monument. It is thus important that the premises be respected when exhibitions are mounted so that visitors can enjoy the building fully.
Numerous exhibitions have been on view since 2000 when the Culture House was inaugurated. The Culture House's featured exhibition is the Medieval Manuscripts -- Eddas and Sagas. Diverse events have been held in the Library Room and elsewhere in the building, including conferences, readings and concerts.
The Culture House offers guided visits to groups and to students at all school levels. A guided tour of the exhibitions also includes a brief presentation on the building itself and its history. Admission is free for student groups. Groups may request a guided tour of the Culture House exhibitions in English, Danish and Icelandic. A guided tour is offered in English without extra charge four times a week in the summer and two times a week over the winter months.

Modern Icelandic Turf Houses by PK Arkitektar, Modern Small Design
These small houses blend into the picturesque landscape of southwest Iceland. The two vacation homes face a small lake about an hour’s drive east of Reykjavík. In order to preserve the views from the lake, PK Arkitektar designed the houses to be as unobtrusive as possible. To do so, the architects looked to Iceland’s long heritage of turf houses, whose grass roofs sloped down to ground level and merged with the surrounding vegetation.
The green roof of each house was planted with the original vegetation that was removed from its building site. Soil from the foundation excavation was used to form a berm that joins with the roof to provide a windbreak for the patio. The houses appear to be dug into the ground but that is just an illusion as viewing them from the other side shows that they actually sit at ground level.
Despite the complexity of the folded roof, the houses have a more or less rectangular plan. The 103 m2 (1,109 ft2) floor plan was designed for efficiency. By having the master bedroom open directly off the living room, only a very short hallway was needed to access the other two bedrooms and the bathroom. The hallway also functions as the entry with a large closet for coats.
The exteriors are clad in vertical strips of charred wood. The same pattern is repeated on the ceilings, except with clear wood. Light fixtures are interspersed among the wood strips. The homes are built on concrete slabs, which were etched with acid and then polished for the finish floor.

Icelandic Culture, Ethnic Roots and History
Are Icelanders as homogenic as we think? In this clip from my interview with Hjörtur Smárason we dive into the surprising ways Icelanders differ from their Scandinavian neighbors, learn about the role the Viking chiefs played in shaping history, and take a quick look at the formation of a national Icelandic identity. This clip ends with a discussion on the relationship, differences and similarities between Iceland, Greenland, the Orkney Islands, Faroe Islands, and Shetland Islands before concluding with a quick discussion of the Viking settlement of Greenland.

This is part of an extended conversation I had with Hjörtur that spans from Byzantium to Iceland’s last McDonald's to questions of ethical travel and modern disasters. Stay tuned for future segments and make sure to subscribe!
