Join Dallas Architecture Forum for a lecture with architect Craig Dykers. Dykers is one of the founding partners of Snøhetta, a firm based in Oslo, Norway, and New York City. He has led many of Snøhetta’s prominent projects internationally, including the Alexandria Library in Egypt, the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo, the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion in New York City, and the recently completed Ryerson University Student Learning Centre in Ontario, Canada. Dykers also led the design of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Expansion and is guiding the Times Square Reconstruction in New York City, as well as the Calgary Public Library in Alberta, Canada, and the Temple University Library in Philadelphia. Snøhetta was shortlisted as one of seven firms for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.
Dykers’ work has led to numerous international awards and widespread recognition, including the Mies van der Rohe European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture, the World Architecture Award, and the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, among many others. His interest in design as a promoter of social and physical well-being is supported by ongoing observation and development of an innovative design process.
