“The old town's mid-18th-century houses demonstrate the Icelandic talent for adaption in a country devoid of many building materials, most are made from driftwood and covered in sheets of corrugated tin to protect them from the elements.”

“As the country rallied from almost 700 years of deprivation, a new pride worked its way into Iceland's public architecture. Basalt became a national symbol – the country's parliament building is built from blocks of the stuff, and Hallgrimskirkja flaunts its baslat columns with unquenchable pride.” - Lonely Planet Iceland
