The Icelandic National Concert & Conference Centre
The Icelandic National Concert & Conference Centre in Reykjavík will house a centre for music, culture and tourism in the best location in the capital of Iceland. It will create the best conditions for Iceland’s continually expanding musical life and will be the home of The Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Furthermore, it will include a top rate conference facility closely connected to a 400 room luxury hotel.
The prominent artist Ólafur Elíasson designed the building’s outer shell. One of Elíasson’s key interests is the dialogue between the individual and his surroundings, and this project reflects his success, creating the potential for exchanges between the building and the people living in Reykjavík, the city itself, as well as the surrounding landscape and weather.

I'm not a fan of this building - It's outer shell - It's terribly generic, this architechture style / visual language is as promiscuous as the 'web2.0 logo's with reflections'.
There's nothing of originality or emotion in the structure, in my opinion that is!
