LIMITED
Limited is an experience with restrictions,
restriction in visuals and accessibility. This form is based off of the ability
to see the Aurora Borealis and all of its natural beauty throughout the year.
During the winter months when the sun is not present for most of the 24-hour
day, the Aurora Borealis is extreme and very visible, while in the summer
months it is quite the opposite. These summer months create a limited
experience with the Aurora’s resulting in too much sunlight and not enough
darkness to see these lights.
This building is meant to create certain viewing points for the Aurora’s and the limited viewing that they may portray. The outer path inside of the building represents the winter where the lights are extremely visible and open, creating experiences unlike any other. The core of the building represents the summer, causing limited viewing of the lights and expressing the significance and importances of the winter in Iceland. With these limited views it helps construct and discover appreciation for the sky, the cold and the darkness.
