This master's thesis examines the redevelopment of Reykjavik's central city area Kvosin and especially Ingólfstorg and its surroundings through architectural means. Kvosin is Reykjavik's oldest city area and there are some original buildings on site. It still forms the heart of the city and most of its buildings are listed.
In this redevelopment plan, I concentrate on the historical value of the site as well as contributing local atmosphere. A deliberate repetition of these dominant elements in the surroundings is a way of fitting the new buildings into their sensitive concept. The main content of the redevelopment plan is to create new pleasant places in the cityscape and a better overall coherence in the place.
Diplomityöni käsittelee Reykjavikin Kvosin kaupunginosassa sijaitsevan Ingólfstorgin ja sen ympäristön kehittämistä arkkitehtuurin kautta keskittyen erityisesti alueen historiallisiin arvoihin ja paikallisen tunnelman vaalimiseen. Kaupunki on kartoittanut Reykjavikin rakennettua ympäristöä laajasti ja sen rakentamisen perinteiden vaalimiseksi on laadittu kattava ohjelma. Suunnittelualueella ja sen ympäristössä on useita historiallisesti merkittäviä rakennuksia, kuten pääkaupungin vanhin jäljellä oleva puutalo vuodelta 1762.
Suunnittelualueen länsipuolella on edelleen kaupungin vanhin asuinalue Grótaþorpið, jonka pienistä taloista suurin osa on rakennettu ennen Islannin itsenäistymistä vuonna 1918. Tämä oli taustalla, että Ingólfstorg halusi jakaa sen pienemmiksi osiin laaditussa suunnitelmassa. ja otettiin käyttöön vuonna 1992. Vuosina 1955 ja 1968 tähän rakennukseen liitettiin kaksi muuta monokulaarista arkkitehtuuria edustavaa toimistorakennusta valtavaksi rakennuskompleksiksi.
Koska useimmissa rakennuksissa on peltikatto ja julkisivut, värien käyttömahdollisuudet ovat paljon suuremmat kuin luonnonmateriaaleissa. Tyypillisellä ja tutulla on oma merkityksensä rakennetussa ympäristössä, ja sen kutistuvat esimerkit tekevät tavallisesta ja paikallisesta erityistä. Hotelli sijaitsee kahdessa kulmassa, rajaa Ingólfstorg-aukiota pohjois- ja länsipuolelta ja avaa aukion etelään.
Aukion länsipuolen kapeampi ja korkeampi viisikerroksinen massa on sivukäytäväratkaisulla ja kulkee vuorotellen puolelta toiselle. Sivukäytävän ulkoseinä on lasia ja se avautuu vuorotellen aukioille ja vuorotellen Aðalstræti-kadun puolelle, mikä mahdollistaa interventioita katutason tapahtumissa ja päinvastoin. Aukion pohjoispuolen rakennusmassa on tehokkaampi keskuskäytäväratkaisu, joka on jaettu kolmeen osaan vastaamaan sitä ympäröivää rakeisuutta.
