About the event

Glerun í H,A,K,K
Glerun er húsaklæðning, byggð á íslensku aðferðinni steiningu þar sem mulin steinefni eru bundin í ysta lag múrs. Aðferðin hefur reynst einstaklega veðurþolin og hentar vel íslenskum aðstæðum. Þar sem steindir eins og hrafntinna og silfurberg eru friðlýstar, er nú aðeins notast við innflutt steinefni, aðallega kvars. Markmið Glerunar er að nýta úrgangsgler í stað steinefna en í dag er langstærstur hluti glers á Íslandi urðaður. Gler hefur svipaða hörku og glerkennda eiginleika bæði hrafntinnu og kvars, sem gerir það kjörið í steiningu sem endurkastar einnig ljósi.

Hönnunar- og þróunarverkefnið Glerun hófst í vor og verður afrakstur síðustu mánuða til sýnis í H,A,K,K Gallery á Óðinsgötu dagana 22.-24. ágúst.

23. ágúst 12-17 (Menningarnótt)
24. ágúst 12-17 (samtal um verkefni frá 16-17)

Glassed is a concept for building cladding inspired by the Icelandic technique of "steining," in which crushed minerals are embedded in the outermost layer of plaster. This method has proven to be exceptionally weather-resistant, making it well-suited for Icelandic conditions. While minerals such as obsidian and Iceland spar were traditionally used, these are now protected, and only imported minerals, mainly quartz, are used today. The goal is to replace these minerals with waste glass, as the majority of glass in Iceland is currently sent to landfills. Glass shares similar hardness and vitreous properties with obsidian and quartz, making it an ideal material for "steining," while also reflecting light.

The design and development project Glerun began this spring, and the results of the past few months will be on display at H,A,K,K Gallery on Óðinsgata from August 22-24.
