Snøhetta Landscapes: Curiosity and the Unseen
The landscape is vast, winding and weaving around us, layered with stories waiting to be uncovered. Michelle Delk approaches her work with Snøhetta through a lens of curiosity, taking time to truly see and appreciate the unique qualities of each place. She will share how she seeks to adapt and reimagine existing landscapes by highlighting their unrealized potentials. She believes that every space has its own voice, and her role is to listen closely, fostering a dialogue between what is and what could be. By weaving together diverse threads, she aims to create environments that resonate with both the past and the future, inviting people to connect with the land and with each other.
Michelle Delk is a Partner with Snøhetta based in New York City. She leads the Landscape Architecture practice in the Americas as a passionate advocate and designer of the public realm. Her work is evocative of a foundational premise shared with Snøhetta: to create places that enhance the positive relationships between people and their environments. Michelle encourages innovative approaches to collaboration that are non-hierarchical and trans-disciplinary. Both aspirational and pragmatic, she seeks to discover and expand the urban landscape vernacular; striving to express the subtleties of place through the incongruities of memory, environment, and social perceptions. Michelle is a Fellow with the American Society of Landscape Architects, a board member with the NYC Urban Design Forum, and member of the Cultural Landscape Foundation Stewardship Council and actively supports a variety of landscape advocacy organizations, curatorial projects, and academic institutions.
