Richard Wood, Managing Director Asia, is invited to give a keynote presentation at The United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) National Convention 2025 on April 9. Titled "Space for Celebration?", Richard's sharing will explore the transformative power of architecture in shaping spaces that celebrate life, culture, and community. At Snøhetta, we believe in creating environments that inspire connection and foster a sense of belonging. From the iconic Norwegian Opera and Ballet, where the city meets the fjord, to the serene underwater dining experience at "Under" in Norway, to Times Square where the city has been radically transformed to allow for civic life, our projects are a testament to the harmony between nature, design, and human experience. In Asia, our work continues to push boundaries. The Shibuya Upper West Project in Tokyo reimagines urban living by blending vibrant cultural spaces with serene retreats, embodying the duality of Tokyo's energy and tranquility. Similarly, the AIRSIDE mixed-use project in Hong Kong integrates sustainable practices with dynamic public spaces, setting a new standard for urban development. These projects, alongside others like the Beijing Library, showcase our commitment to designing for the future while honoring local traditions. Through this lecture, Richard will delve into the stories behind these spaces, exploring how thoughtful design can celebrate life in all its forms.

We are happy to share that Snøhetta, alongside renowned Dutch firm Benthem Crouwel Architects, have been announced as part of the team to design the new House of Culture and Administration in the city of Delfzijl in the Netherlands. The project is dedicated to delivering an iconic cultural gathering place for the historic city of Delfzijl, shaped by its maritime heritage and created for its people. "We see an opportunity to co-create a building that brings Delfzijl’s unique vibrancy and spirit to the forefront. This is as much a win for architecture itself as it is for Snøhetta and Benthem Crouwel—a testament to how design can reflect identity, foster connection, and support the communities it serves. Together with the municipality, we look forward to shaping a building and a hopeful and meaningful future," says Kathleen Cayetano, Snøhetta Senior Architect and Project Lead.

Last chance to see the “People and the Library of Alexandria” exhibition in Oslo!⁠ ⁠ Bibliotheca Alexandrina - مكتبة الإسكندرية is more than just a building; it is a living space influenced by the people who visit, learn, and contribute to its ongoing legacy. Through personal narratives, images, and voices, our exhibition highlights the deep connection between architecture and human experience.⁠ ⁠ By exploring the social impact of this defining project for Snøhetta, the exhibition illustrates how the library has affected the lives of individuals and communities. It celebrates the library as both a vibrant communal space and a beacon of knowledge.⁠ ⁠ The exhibition features a large handmade model and a collection of photographs, artefacts, and historical documents from Snøhetta’s archives.⁠ ⁠ Visit our Archive Gallery on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM until April 8, or by appointment, before the exhibition moves on to Abu Dhabi.⁠ Read more: https://lnkd.in/gSYcQK6f ⁠ 🎥by: OiOiOi 🎵by: Handover #snøhetta #exhibition #bibliothecaalexandrina #library #alexandria #architecture

Redevelopment of the Place de la Concorde - Congratulations to the team led by AAPP / Atelier d'architecture Philippe Prost et Bruel Delmar on winning the tender for the redevelopment of the Place de la Concorde.   We are honoured to have been selected to compete and proud to share our vision.
