Creating a hybrid place of relationships in constant change, through space and time.
This summary report researches the premise of twilight in Iceland, analyzing the context of Elliðaárdalur valley, in Reykjavík.
Due to the country’s position in the northern hemisphere, the duration of twilight is relatively long in Iceland. The sun’s position in the sky is low and daylight hours vary greatly between seasons. Providing a dynamic architectural potential. Similarly, the site is multiplicitous and indeterminate. This thesis attempts to holistically map the complexity of this context. Working simultaneously with paradoxical qualities, stable and changing elements. Actively zooming out & in to discover the interrelationships which occur simultaneously in space and time. And by doing so capturing the complexity of a site-specific and polyvalent program. With distinctly established differences that can either be experienced individually or as a part of a larger system in a constantly shifting set of conditions.
