Gísli Hrafn received the educational grant from the Foundry.
At the Foundry's Education Congress 2025 in January, the University of the Arts received a grant in the amount of 500 thousand ISK. The foundry and the Akrkitektúsláfáil of the University of the Arts presented the grant at the opening, and it was Gísla Hrafn Magnússon who received the grant. A special selection committee reviewed all graduation projects and Gísla's design was chosen.
Review of the project: „The MArch thesis „Aesthetics of Survivalism“ by Gísla Hrafn Magnússon receives the Foundry's Educational Fellowship (FS25) for its ideological clarity, outstanding design and relevance to contemporary architectural challenges The work shows a good balance between creativity, technical skill and critical thinking, resulting in a project that is both innovative and meaningful“
