Abstract

The presented architectural proposal is a design of a housing complex for Runavik, Faroe Islands. The project is a response to the urban development and its implicit necessity of a strong direction related to their identity. The thematic focus on an architectural approach that intends to provide comfortable and unique spaces that perform well in harsh conditions. The understanding of the site, its natural features and identity is the base for an architecture that seeks to understand vernacular traditions through a contemporary light.
