La Nube, our new children's museum is El Paso, Texas was spotlighted in Metropolis magazine for its commitment to accessibility and equity. With its cloud-like form, twinkling exterior lighting, and 77,000 square feet of imaginative, inclusive learning space, it stands as an awe-inspiring place for residents of the border city to learn about sustainability, regional identity, and the concept of “Blue Sky Learning."  “The first thing we did was to visit the site to ensure the design team learned about El Paso and enjoyed experiencing its rich culture as much as I did growing up there.” – Elaine Molinar, Partner and Managing Director at Snøhetta Read the article, here: https://lnkd.in/essadfmg #elpaso #museum #childrensmuseum #museumdesign #learning #education

In 2019, Snøhetta was announced the winner of the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) design competition together with local Meanjin based partner Blight Rayner Architecture.

The Shanghai Grand Opera House is rapidly taking shape.⁠ Located in the World EXPO area along the Huangpu River, the Shanghai Grand Opera House is a significant cultural landmark within the EXPO Cultural Park, contributing to the urban renewal of the Pudong New Area in Shanghai. Connecting to the waterfront, the Opera House extends the landscape of the EXPO Cultural Park. The helical roof surface evokes an unfolding fan. Generating both surface and space, the radial movements of the roof form a spiraling staircase that connects ground and sky. The ecological and low-carbon profile emphasizes the Opera House's mission of being a public and open venue that embraces the community and urban landscape.

Known for its iconic, cross-shaped form, the 1970s building Centre Monnaie in Brussels, Belgium, has been a physically present yet functionally underutilized presence at the heart of the city center, as an office building and commercial hub. By transforming the 62,000 m² structure into a unique, mixed-use complex, the building now named Oxy will offer the citizens of Brussels a renewed and contemporary space to enjoy.⁠ ⁠ As an energy-efficient retrofit, the design developed together with partners BINST ARCHITECTS, DDS+and A.D.E. Architects aspires to sustain the future of the building in the widest sense: spatially, architecturally, economically and socially. By moving away from a mono-purpose function towards a more sustainable, mixed-use space with residential, commercial and leisure functions, the 63-meter-tall building will be better equipped to serve the city’s changing needs.⁠ Read more: https://lnkd.in/dKbfJirc ⁠ 📷️by: Lucian R 📸by: Binst Architects #snøhetta #binstarchitects #architecture #mixeduse #publicspace #restoration #oxy #brussels

Following an international design competition in 2012, Snøhetta won the commission to design the Busan Opera House. Recently, the construction of Opera House has been progressing smoothly with the façade structure being installed. ⁠ ⁠ Located on reclaimed land on the Busan’s waterfront, the new opera house will convert a historically industrial area into a lively public space in the city. The Busan Opera House is set to transform the opera from a passive playground for the few to an interactive and democratic space for the many. A place to meet and be together in a common cultural context. ⁠ Read more: https://lnkd.in/djtzvGeX ⁠ 📸by: Cundall⁠ 📷️by: Snøhetta & Tegmark⁠ ⁠ #snøhetta #architecture #busanoperahouse #operahouse #culture #performingarts #busan #southkorea⁠ ⁠

Located in Nanterre, the Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers has fostered strong connections between artists and audiences since its founding in the late 1960s. The current building, inaugurated in 1976, stands out for its bold programming and commitment to inclusivity, welcoming audiences once excluded and showcasing world-renowned artists and directors.⁠ ⁠ The theatre is redefining itself as a hub for the community, blending seamlessly with the urban landscape through its transparent architecture, which connects the interior, city, and nearby park. This design encourages intuitive visitor flow, transforming the hall into a space for discovery, interaction, and engagement with theatre professions, artists, and performances.⁠ ⁠ Set to open in October 2025, the nearly completed renovation includes advanced theatre halls and state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring the venue remains a leader in creative innovation.⁠ ⁠ The architectural renovation is led by Snøhetta and supported by its partners SRA Architectes, scenographer Kanju, Khephren, Egis, Elioth, Studio DAP, Sletec, ATSL and Omega Alliance.⁠ Read more: https://lnkd.in/dgVtY4qk ⁠ 📷️by: Fillipo Bolognese for Snøhetta, Sydney Zag & Snøhetta⁠ ⁠ #nanterreamandiers #sraarchitectes #Kanju #Khephren #Egis #Elioth #StudioDAP #Sletec #ATSL #OmegaAlliance

The 23,000 square meters mixed-use development is located on a former industrial site in the Heyligenstaedt area of Gießen. Snøhetta’s proposal focuses on the diverse uses, the history and the characteristics of the public spaces in the new urban quarter. The design concepts for different courtyard situations concentrate on specific atmospheres that inspire and define the architecture, the designs and the materials of the buildings, taking into account the adjacent uses. The three- and four-story blocks are predominantly built in timber. The range of open spaces include a tranquil green oasis as well as a lively urban space with meeting points, event space, café terraces and restaurant gardens or an attractive atrium space for sports activities.The mixed-use development is currently under construction and will be completed in autumn 2025. 📷️by: Moka-studio #snøhetta #architecture #landscapearchitecture #publicspace #mixeduse #urbandevelopment
