Arnhildur Pálmadóttir of s.ap architects is presenting Lavaforming at the Venice Architecture Biennale next year. Her project explores using volcanic lava as a sustainable building material, transforming a local hazard into a global resource. 

The proposal aims to utilise lava to address environmental challenges by reducing atmospheric emissions through innovative construction techniques. 

Highlighting Iceland's frequent volcanic activity, Pálmadóttir envisions lava flows as a future resource for entire city foundations, emphasising a shift towards sustainable architecture. 

Lavaforming underscores the need for bold, creative solutions in building practices to address environmental concerns and reshape the future.
