Reviews of Performances and their Audiences
The firms Arkitema and Arkþing are to create the new opera house for Icelandic Opera near the Kópavogskirkja on Borgarholt hill. Based on folklore about the home of the elves, the designs can be seen on the Arkþing site (under Projects, Culture & Sports, Operahouse in Kópavogur).

Good god, people. Enough with the elves. The Icelandic article says nothing about elves at all. I’ll bet this symbolism was brought out for the enjoyment of foreigners. At this point the Icelanders can pee on a wall and say that it refers to the elves.
Nice enough building. It will look very cool in the dark.

I think it looks like a block of tofu. I’m not surprised the Icelandic article did not mention elves!
