DESCRIPTION:
Elegant but Shallow Content Really was hoping for more, they do good work. Clean elegant design, but less insight into the firm, process, and projects that what you would find on their website. Actually most of the content is on the website. There is minimal text, just large photos of staff, projects, or work in progress without captions or descriptors. I wonder if this is a self published book designed to. "A cigar box filled with snapshots" according to Paul L Hunter. WTF? Where's the text? I went online to see if I'd missed the companion volume. But no! This book is for NON-READERS! I'm embarrassed to own it.. Very dissapointing. I was expectng way more from this Luis Del Rincon Very dissapointing. I was expectng way more from this book.There are a few-none diagrams and just a bunch of random pictures of their offices.
The 300-page fully illustrated book -- including preliminary drawings, plans, and full-color photographs -- is published in conjunction with a major exhibition of Snøhetta's work at the DAC (Danish Architecture Centre) in Copenhagen.. This volume explores Snøhetta's humanistic approach to architecture, its transdisciplinary processes and its eclectic oeuvre from 1989 to the present. Among Snøhetta's most influential architectural projects are the Oslo Opera House and their expansion of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Originating from Oslo, Norway, the architectural and design firm Snøhetta has grown into an international practice, with offices in New York, San Francisco, Innsbruck and Singapore
(Ian Volner Wall Street Journal)The story of the spirited multidisciplinary architectural firm…is told through an unbroken series of highly detailed images. what makes Snøhetta stand out from the design-world pack, is precisely the fact that the architects seem so determined not to get pinned down, to keep their projects as fluid as their off-the-wall thinking.
