Originating from Oslo, Norway, the architectural and design firm Snøhetta has grown into an international practice, with offices in New York, San Francisco, Innsbruck and Singapore. Among Snøhetta's most influential architectural projects are the Oslo Opera House and their expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This volume explores Snøhetta's humanistic approach to architecture, its transdisciplinary processes and its eclectic oeuvre from 1989 to the present. The 300-page fully illustrated book -- including preliminary drawings, plans, and full-color photographs -- is published in conjunction with a major exhibition of Snøhetta's work at the DAC (Danish Architecture Centre) in Copenhagen.
Featured image is of the 2007 Serpentine Gallery Pavilion, in collaboration with artist Olafur Eliasson.

The story of the spirited multidisciplinary architectural firm…is told through an unbroken series of highly detailed images.

...what makes Snøhetta stand out from the design-world pack, is precisely the fact that the architects seem so determined not to get pinned down, to keep their projects as fluid as their off-the-wall thinking.
