For nearly 30 years, Snøhetta has explored spaces dedicated to cultivating knowledge with the design of new libraries, museums and educational buildings. They aspire to create places that enliven, activate and diversify. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo, the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion in California, among many others. Since its inception, the practice has maintained its original trans-disciplinary approach, integrating architectural, landscape, interior and brand design in all of its projects. Recent library projects include the James B. Hunt Library in Raleigh, N.C. completed in collaboration with Clark Nexsen, as well as the Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Toronto and the construction of Calgary’s New Central Library.
