Nerd Nite Reykjavik

Nerd Nite is an evening of entertaining yet thought-provoking presentations. We all know learning is more fun when you’re drinking with friends.

Thus, Nerd Nite is a monthly event held in 100+ cities (like Tokyo, Miami, London, and New York) during which folks give 20 minute fun-yet-informative presentations across all disciplines – while the audience drinks along! There are often bands, trivia, and other shenanigans as well. Imagine learning about math feuds, the science of The Simpsons, the genealogy of Godzilla, or zombie insects, while having a few. Founded by Fjalldís Ghim & Saori Fukasawa in 2018.

Nerd Nite Reykjavik #9:
“House Gazing-Holes for Horizontal Rain”🌧🌬💦
by Sæþór Randalsson

Anyone who’s been to Iceland for more than a week has experienced the radical precipitation of this far north Island nation. Learn how Icelanders created their own unique window system for keeping such aggressive weather outside, with decorative transition trim between corrugated siding for residential houses. This talk will describe the building system that developed between 1900 and 1920 for the first housing boom in the capital. Siding, windows, and what makes it unique to Iceland.

Sæþór is a self taught carpenter who has learned the Icelandic window system to renovate a period-house in Kópavogur.
