Architects commissioned for the 9-11 / WTC Memorial to speak at Tech
The Louisiana Tech School of Architecture Lecture Series welcomes Craig Dykers, co-founder of the architecture, landscape and interior design firm Snøhetta, on Tuesday, January 12 at 6:30PM in Wyly Auditorium. Dykers will present a lecture on the work of the firm.
The event is free and open to the public.
Established in 1989 in Oslo, Norway, Snøhetta established its New York office in 2004 — the same year it was awarded the commission for the National September 11th Memorial Museum and Pavilion at the World Trade Center. Its international practice emphasizes site-specific and environmentally responsible design solutions that “enhance…qualities of place and create diverse and rich architectural experiences.”
Recent and current work includes the Lillehammer Winter Olympics Art Museum, Norway; Norwegian Embassy, Berlin; Norwegian National Opera, Oslo (pictured right); and the Wolfe Centre for the Arts, Bowling Green State University, Ohio.
Snøhetta has won numerous awards, recently earning the prestigious Mies van der Rohe award for Norwegian National Opera, and winning the coveted Aga Khan award in 2004.
