I have a new job. Yay! Today I spend my first day at one of the world´s most renowned design practices. Snøhetta has designed many of the coolest buildings in the world the past almost 20 years, starting with the Alexandria Library in Egypt. Later work include the Norwegian

"What is the coolest possible thing we can do?" Lars Robertsen at Autodesk asked me that question two months ago. I responded "Well that would be having Julien Benoit, Andreas Dieckmann, Matt Jezyk and Dieter Vermeulen come to Norway to show of amazing Dynamo material." I
