"Ambitious proposal that takes into account the history of hollow but shows the same interesting development potential.

The structure of the southern part of Ingolf square where the Hotel Iceland once stood, creating a new vision and structure features that are worth a visit. The proposal assumes that there will be a cultural center. New building in this field requires further elaboration and public debate. Clearly there is a standalone unit on city land that is not related to hotel structure.
Traffic network for pedestrian and car navigation is good. Street name gets comprehensive fee street form. It will tend to strengthen ties with Eastern Pitch Grjótaþorp. With the new building at the Hotel Iceland box is open for historic connection with Austurstræti Aðalstræti. As soon appreciates street view Aðalstrætis and Veltusunds.
One of the main weaknesses of the proposal is that side of the hotel facing the Kirkjustræti. She will be very prominent and revamped. The same applies to the side of the hotel facing the wick ridge and approach to the hotel from there. Taking into consideration fragmentary and size ratios older buildings on the south side Church Street. worst dressed 2011 Also need to look further into the appearance of new construction Austurvöllur.

My dear friend Hilmar, thanks for showing the results of the hollow-competition, worst dressed 2011 the prizes just 1-3, what about the Other Projects? Would be great to see this too Proposals. I want to tell you That I'm deeply worst dressed 2011 Concerned about the result. For sure I am watching it from the distance - with my "continental Viennese background". As you know my eye on jets is critical Because of a lot of Reason. I wanted to be part of this competition, Because I had a big hope That there is a tower of the strategy in urban planning. It was a big chance for downtown-which I see now as passed up, I am sorry to say that. I can not see the any following vision and position out of the Awarded Proposals. For sure, there are some qualities to see, but They are not only punctual and to see as sustainable for the public and the public spaces. The Awarded Proposals are very phones to each other, I see a fear for the "bigger urban dimension" winners are splitting up buildings Into smaller units, telling a story of a smaller scale-which is not true. What will the city do or earn-out amount of crystals on sale of compromise? Should not the compromise come after the competition? Oh, there is just such a lot of things to talk about ........ I would like to Discuss crystals on sale results When I'm coming to Iceland in August. Will there be a documentation of all Proposals, Cause I can not come before August?
Finally, I wish to congratulate ASK.

They do not tolerate even today the traffic generated by the hotel operations there are. Every single morning is a chaotic situation in Aðalstræti we Herkastalann when buses, large SUVs, trucks worst dressed 2011 stop traffic, cars are idle while waiting for hotel guests, parked up and running lanes, a sidewalk. in the way of pedestrians. And hotel guests are also cars up all Grjótaþorp, where trash
