Our work strives to enhance our sense of surroundings, identity and relationship to others and the physical spaces we inhabit.
– Snøhetta
Every two years, the entire Snøhetta team will head to the mountain in Norway called Snøhetta
Snøhetta shares the name with a beautiful, remote, and historically important mountain in central Norway. It is a place nobody is from, but anyone can experience. Creating places for societies to connect with each other and with the world around them is a primary motivation in Snøhetta’s work. Dialogue and diversity empower this approach.
Robert Greenwood and Cheng Gong are invited to give a lecture titled “Places for People” at 6.30pm on Oct 21 at Tongji CAUP, sharing Snøhetta’s design practice and core values. This lecture is free and open to the public. Please use ID card to enter the campus.
