The "Echo Chamber" installation presents an insight into an ongoing conversation between Jökull Jonsson (Studio Pluto) and David Menzi (encounters), were they explore the intersection between architecture, nature, and human interaction.

The use of large-scale shell structures made from biodegradable materials in Iceland's landscape offer an approach to sustainability and environmental integration, raising questions about the future of architectural practice.

Integrated into the landscape the shell structure acts as a sound amplifier, communication device and shelter.

The project invites us to rethink our relationship with the built environment, urging a dialogue that considers how architecture can harmonize with nature, embody human experiences, and integrate both low-tech wisdom and high-tech innovation for a sustainable and meaningful future.

Studio Pluto and encounters is hosting a talk on Saturday 27.04.24 at 16.00 h at the Glashouse in Reykjavík.
