In August 2015—with support from the school's Boone Powell Prize in Urban Design—Haley Fitzpatrick traveled to Iceland to "...study how tourism was affecting projected urbanization, cultural identity and resource capacity, specifically along the coastal settlements." The photographs featured in this exhibition represent a portion of her image donation received by the school's Visual Resources Collection.
