Light OnSnøhetta

The relationship between form, technology and light,
experienced through a contemporary and visionary gaze
by the great architects and design professionals

Saturday 7 February, 11.30
Kjetil Trædal Thorsen
MAXXI Auditoium – free admittance while places available – Sold Out

Kjetil Trædal Thorsen, of the Snøhetta studio, presents and explores the meaning of his work, the reasoning, the themes and the contexts in which he has configured his professional career.

For over 20 years Snøhetta has combined architecture and landscape in its projects in an increasingly integrated form: The studio based in Oslo and more recently in New York appears to consider buildings not so much as elements inserted in the environment or embellished by the surrounding nature, but as themselves components of the landscape, massive and semi-natural.
The studio achieved international fame with the winning project in the competition for the reconstruction of the famous Library of Alexandria in Egypt, inaugurated in 2002.

Introduced by
Margherita Guccione Director MAXXI Architettura
Pippo Ciorra Senior Curator MAXXI Architettura
