It is not unusual for a practice to take off after winning a major competition. But Snøhetta was founded to enter one. Jayne Merkel explains that the Oslo‐based firm flourished almost immediately after winning the international competition to design the Alexandria Library in Egypt in 1989. Ten years later, a victory in a blind international competition for the New National Opera in their home city paved the way for Snøhetta's practice today, which is largely devoted to cultural centres. And although the democratic lifestyle of the office is distinctly Scandinavian, the architects and designers who work there and the projects they work on now span the globe. There is even a New York office in the heart of Wall Street. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
