I have tried to come up with a list or words to describe the archetecture in Iceland and have decided I can get away with one. Box.
Square and rectangle tied for a close second. They are not going all out trying to wow anyone with their structures. Mostly colored in dirty pastels, the man made dwellings built here appear to lean heavily toward functionality while turning their back to providing aesthetics.
That’s fine. That is not what anyone is here for anyway. We all just want a nice cozy, easy to warm hut to climb into at the end of the day. For the most part it all feels clean and uncomplicated.
