The vision sets out to develop a clear local/global identity for a site that stands in strong relation with the existing region and future city Reykjavik. Turf City has been conceived from the traditional Icelandic turf houses and the relationship with the landscape/ground, the space it produces and how these instances blur between each other. The aim is to use these conditions as an architectural rule for generating a new urban condition that offers the desired spatiality of evolved European cities and the functionality of designed cities of the 20th century.
