Question is how the rural communities will evolve? Will they simply become remains from out past, or will they play a part in our future societies? Village Reimagined is a case study about the sparsely populated communities in Iceland. Why they are struggling and how the circle of decline could be turned around. The project concluded in a transformation and a reimagination of the small icelandic village Bíldudalur in the southern parts of the West fjords. |
