VOLCANO EXHIBITION CENTER

Bas-reliefs, early studies

The Volcano Exhibition Center reimagines the relationship between human beings the tectonic forces of Iceland. Imagined as a dynamic structure in a volcanic zone, this project fuses the language of nature, craters, and unevenness with that of design but also sustainable energy solutions. Its multilayered form not only monitors volcanic activity but also harnesses geothermal energy, offering an important approach to disaster mitigation and clean energy production. This bold architectural concept exemplifies how design can integrate harmoniously with nature, turning potential threats into sustainable opportunities.
