Learn to approach design with empathy, says co-founder of Snøhetta

Nordic architectural firm Snøhetta has over the last 25 years been designing some of the world's most noteworthy public and cultural projects including thought-provoking installations and treetop bedrooms. Speaking at the Design Indaba Conference 2017, co-founder Craig Dykers attributed the firm's success to a non-linear outlook on what he called the design of habitat. “We see ourselves as managers of habitat. We create things that we exist in, around, upon," he added. Co-founder of Snøhetta, architect Craig Dykers is interested in design as a promoter of social and physical well-being.
