Evening Walk | LaugavegurDuring the walk, the authors of the book LAUGAVEGUR will walk up Bankastræti and to Klapparstígur and discuss in Icelandic the architectural history of selected houses in the context of the development of shops and the layout of the city's main street. The walk is free of charge and starts by Stjórnarráðið at 20:00. Everyone is welcome! Stories will be told of what was, is and could have happened, and visitors will be reminded of hidden aspects of the appearance of the houses or the street that shed light on a larger story. The book LAUGAVEGUR was published last Christmas by Angústúra, covering 120 house numbers at Bankastræti and Laugavegur tracing the history of architecture and trade between Lækjargata and Hlemmur in words and pictures. Anna Dröfn Ágústsdóttir is a historian and lecturer, and director at the Design Department of the Iceland Academy of the Arts and Guðni Valberg is an architect and co-owner of Tripoli Architects. They are also the authors of the book REYKJAVÍK SEM EKKI VARÐ (Reykjavík which did not happen), published in 2014. Evening Walks are a collaborative programme of Reykjavík City Museum, The Reykjavík Art Museum, Reykjavík City Library, and Reykjavík UNESCO City of Literature. The walks take place on Thursday evenings during the summer months. Stay tuned on Facebook. Participation is free.
