The Herring Road College will be a campus focusing on enlightening the loss of biodiversity, wild nature and the current emergent climate crisis. The campus will aim to be a self-sufficient space that can sustain both its users and buildings. By doing this in one of the most challenging climates in the world the campus will function as a built andlived architectural example on how humans can inhabit earth in touch and relation with its surroundings, that aims to give back instead of taking.The campus is located in Djúpavik, a small city tourists pass on their way to one of the largest nature parks in Iceland, Hornstrandir. The campus is located in this town to also function as a visitor center for tourists before they enter the nature park so they can learnabout the current challenges along with seeing students’ art pieces, which will hopefully provoke feelings of immediate change in the visiting tourists.
