Join The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture for a lecture with Craig Dykers and Elaine Molinar of Snøhetta. In their lecture, “Towards a Peaceable Kingdom,” the UT Austin alums and designers for The Blanton’s New Grounds Project will explore projects that consider the geological, ecological, and cultural layers of a site, considering the many living species beyond our own.

For more than 30 years, Snøhetta has designed some of the world’s most notable public and cultural projects. At the heart of all Snøhetta’s work lies a commitment to social and environmental sustainability, shaping the built environment and design in the service of humanism. 

Two of its founding members are UT graduates. Craig Dykers and Elaine Molinar have, since the firm’s beginnings, helped shape and maintain its original transdisciplinary approach, one that integrates architectural, landscape, interior, product, graphic, digital design, and art across its work. The co-creative nature between Snøhetta's different disciplines is an essential driving force of the practice. The practice has a global presence, with offices spanning from Oslo, Paris, and Innsbruck, to New York, Hong Kong, Adelaide, and San Francisco.
