A bit of Architecture....

Reykjavik's Harpa Centre, which is the opera house, concert hall and convention centre is perched of the foreshore like a black iceberg. It's beautiful, austere and very cool. Inside the walls are mirror finished exposed concrete which is made with pulverised black bassalt. Let's face it they've got plenty of it!

All the staff wear sharp black suits and the punters are quaffing coffee out of plain white cups in the 5 storey attrition cafe. Even the bogs were awesome with black polished concrete floor and white cast resin wash hand basins.

A few pics to whet the appetite.
