The first architect. Rögnvaldur Ágúst Ólafsson and his work. Compiled by Björn G. Björnsson.
Rögnvaldur Ágúst Ólafsson has been called the first Icelandic architect. Although his working life was only about 12 years, he left behind numerous buildings around the country, many of them among the most beautiful in Icelandic architecture. These include Húsavík Church, Breiðabólstaðar Church in Fljótshlíð, Hafnarfjörður Church, the Post Office in Reykjavík and many residential buildings by the Tjörnin. Vífilsstaðahælið was his largest work, and he himself died there of tuberculosis in 1917, at the age of only 42. This book was compiled 140 years after his birth.
