Craig Dykers, Snohetta: General Shale Lecture @ Bijou

Craig Dykers, a founding partner of Snøhetta, a Wall Street Journal 2016 Innovator and designer of the New York Times Square Reconstruction, will present a lecture on April 29 at the Bijou Theatre. Hosted by the University of Tennessee College of Architecture and Design, the lecture is sponsored by General Shale and is free and open to the public. It begins at 2 p.m., and doors open at 1 p.m.

Dykers will present “Habitat: Large and Small,” an unhinged look at the created world.

Dykers’ interest in design as a promoter of social and physical well being is supported by ongoing observation and development of an innovative and sustainable design process. He most recently led design of the new Times Square as well as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art expansion. He also is responsible for the design of the Alexandria Library in Egypt, Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion in New York.
