Snøhetta has opened its first full-scale exhibition in the U.S., now on view through June 30, 2016 at the Center for Architecture in Portland, Oregon. Created by the designers themselves, the playful exhibition allows visitors to go behind the scenes and meet Snøhetta.
People, Process, Projects invites visitors into the studio. The immersive exhibition gives visitors a view of the studio's office culture, working process and finished works. Prominently featuring two Oregon-based projects currently in their community engagement phases, the exhibition encourages visitors to participate in the design process for the upcoming Willamette Falls Riverwalk and the James Beard Public Market. An informal Snøhetta workshop space features over 200 architectural drawings hand sketches, and process models. Visitors can pick up the models and touch the original concept studies of some of Snøhetta's well-loved works, from the Oslo Opera House to the Ryerson Student Learning Centre. Learn about the studio's works under construction, from the story behind SFMOMA's sculptural façade to the development of the world's foremost energy-positive buildings, that will produce more energy over the course of their lifetime than they will consume.
Snøhetta's creative process begins with human interaction. All of the studio's work strives to enhance our sense of place, identity and relationship to others and the physical spaces we inhabit, whether natural or human-made.
First presented at the Danish Architecture Centre in Copenhagen in the summer of 2015, the exhibition re-opened in Portland on April 17, 2016, to a newly-expanded Center for Architecture. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
