THRYMR METEROLOGY COMPLEX

Matster third year design thesis

Year: May 2023 international project-Iceland

Individrual work

Brief:

Given the fragile nature of the landscape and the significant role of sustainable energy and tourism economics, the proposed complex places utmost importance on mitigating carbon emissions and minimizing its ecological impact. In pursuit of this objective, the complex will rely primarily on geothermal energy as a self-sufficient power source. Furthermore, the selection of construction materials will prioritize locally sourced options, thereby facilitating a seamless integration of the building within its natural surroundings.

Here two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This resulted in a landscape characterized by volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, and basalt formations.
