Snøhetta is an international integrated architecture and design firm. The practice has a global presence, with offices spanning from Oslo, Paris, and Innsbruck, to New York, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Melbourne.
For almost 40 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world’s most notable public and cultural projects. Snøhetta kick-started its career in 1989 with the competition-winning entry for the new library of Alexandria, Egypt. This was later followed by the commission for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo, and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City, among many others.
Since its inception, the practice has maintained its original transdisciplinary approach, and often integrates a combination of architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture, product design and art across its projects. The collaborative nature between Snøhetta's different disciplines is an essential driving force of the practice.
With offices in both Zurich and Berlin, EM2N was founded by Mathias Müller and Daniel Niggli in 1997 and is currently working on projects in Switzerland, Germany and Belgium.
EM2N strives to open up to the diverse dynamism of the city and its inhabitants, to appreciate the qualities of its past and to continue the present self-confidently. In doing this we trust that, thanks to the means and collective knowledge it possesses, architecture can arrive at its specific form, also in the present day. As EM2N accepts the complexity of contemporary society and the city with a sceptical optimism and makes this an integral part of its architectural work, we represent a kind of idealistic pragmatism. We do not respond to our built environment’s permanent state of crisis with either irony or drama but rather by taking a cool look at what actually exists.
