Arnar Skarphéðinsson
architect BA graduate from the Icelandic University of the Arts. Currently, he is a stundent at Sci-Arc in the M.arch 2 program.
Arnar believes the architecture profession is failing in it’s attempts to make
the world a better place, it is instead justifying an immoral and destructive
economic system. But the power of architecture lies in it’s ability to sketch
out a future where the problems of modernity have been solved. How will this
future look like? How is technology used as a force for good? And what are the
building methods of this future? Arnar believes that architecture is the only
way to catch a glimpse of this and does so through 3D drawings, animations and
video games.
