Unshackling Grandi
A former island at the edge of the city center of Reykjavík called Örfirisey is now surrounded by landfills, which form a peninsula known as Grandi. On Örfirisey, stand Iceland's largest oil reserves as the most dominant feature of Grandi.
As the world moves away from fossil fuels, this project guesses a future, in which the oil reserves on Örfirisey are obsolete. In this vision, Grandi serves a broad spectrum of roles while reinforcing the area's current strings, protecting what is already built as well as creating an attractive and knowing neighborhood.
