About "Old and dilapidated wooden house in Glaumbaer, Iceland with natural insulation."

by Patricia Hofmeester

About the artwork

Peat houses in Iceland are centuries old and by using natural insulation such as, peat, grass and moss, the cold and moisture can stay out for a long time.

At some point, however, nature wins out as you can see here.

As far back as the Stone Age, peat was used as a building material throughout northern Europe and the Arctic for thousands of years.In Iceland, these green houses fit seamlessly into the landscape, thanks to a building technique introduced here by Nordic and British settlers between the ninth and 11th centuries - the height of the Viking era. Unlike the coastal and polar regions where these peoples had previously lived, building timber was scarce in Iceland and trees grew slowly. The durable, renewable and widely available peat now became their main building material.
