Interview with Kjetil Trædal Thorsen, Partner, Founder & Architect, Snøhetta


“We should understand what is public and what is private in black and white,” says Thorsen. “Then we can distinguish what is semi-public or semi-private in order to understand how our cities actually operate. What we’re trying to do is figure out how to use a city twice, to do this consciously, to negotiate between what the city gives you and what you give the city.”
