SUMMARY:DESIGNING WITH NATURE | PANEL WITH BLUE LAGOON ICELAND
DESCRIPTION:Join us for A Taste of Iceland New York this September\, organized by Inspired by Iceland! On September 5 at Scandinavia House\, Blue Lagoon Iceland will present a discussion about emergency design and its role during times of seismic activity\, held in collaboration with Iceland Design and Architecture and DesignMarch. \nTumultuous events have greatly influenced Icelandic companies over the past decades. The economic collapse\, the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull Volcano eruption\, the COVID pandemic\, and now seismic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula have forced Icelanders to repeatedly adapt and adjust. Thanks to the Icelandic can-do attitude\, our society has met these challenges with optimism and creative thinking at the forefront. \nAt Blue Lagoon\, design and design thinking have been a cornerstone from the beginning. The company has applied design thinking to learn from each tumultuous event and utilized that knowledge when necessary. At the same time\, Blue Lagoon has worked on defining new ways to coexist with nature. \nThis event aims to put the dialogue about emergency design on the agenda and share knowledge about the role design can play in uncertain times. \nHost: Halla Helgadóttir\, managing director of Iceland Design and Architecture \nSpeakers: \nSigurður Þorsteinsson\, Head of Brand\, Marketing\, Design and Construction at Blue Lagoon.\nArnhildur Pálmadóttir\, Owner of s.ap Architects and Lendager in Iceland.\nRobert Kirkbride\, Ph.D\, Parsons School of Design on Creating Design Solutions for Natural Disasters. \nRegister

SUMMARY:ICELAND'S CRIME FICTION ROYALTY | RAGNAR JÓNASSON & YRSA SIGURÐARDÓTTIR
DESCRIPTION:Join us for A Taste of Iceland in New York this September\, organized by Inspired by Iceland! On September 7 at Scandinavia House\, bestselling authors Ragnar Jónasson and Yrsa Sigurðardóttir\, known as the Queen and King of Icelandic crime fiction\, will be joined for a conversation moderated by Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi\, a former NYC homicide prosecutor and creator of the “Anatomy of Murder” podcast. \nIn this program\, the authors will discuss their novels\, as well as the literature festival they run as a side hustle. Ragnar Jónasson’s Reykjavík\, a crime novel he co-authored with former Icelandic Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir\, involves the disappearance of a young woman from picturesque Viðey island and the ensuing investigation spanning decades. The story is set in part during the 200th anniversary of the city of Reykjavík in 1986\, allowing the reader a glimpse into a world gone by. Jónasson will also discuss this as well as his latest book\, Death at the Sanatorium\, which will be released in the U.S. on September 10. \nYrsa Sigurðardóttir will discuss The Legacy\, the first book in the Huldar and Freyja series with child psychologist Freyja and policeman Huldar\, who must set aside their differences to solve a highly oddly executed murder of a young mother\, witnessed only by her silent young daughter. The Legacy was awarded the Blooddrop award for best crime novel in Iceland the year it came out and also includes one of the most innovative murder methods in recent crime novel publications. \nCopies of Reykjavík\, The Legacy and Death at the Sanatorium will all be available for purchase and signing after the event. \nRegister
