About the Architect - Oslo-based architecture workshop
Snøhetta are defined by their trans-disciplinary approach to
design, working with a project's landscape rather than against.
Since the firm's inception, their work has challenged our
perception of our surroundings while promoting social inter-
action. Aer placing first in an international design compe-
tition to reimagine the Alexandria Library in Egypt in 1989,
Snøhetta earned its first commission, and never looked back.
In the U.S., Snøhetta was commissioned to create the only
cultural building at New York City's World Trade Center
Memorial, establishing a permanent residence in Manhattan
and subsequently, San Francisco. Today, the international
workshop also has offices in Innsbruck, Paris, Hong Kong
and Adelaide. Snøhetta is home to 240 employees from 32
different countries, and has quickly become internationally
recognized for their unique, forward-thinking projects and
renderings. Snøhetta credits global reach as a source of
diversity and evolving perspective.
