The fourth edition of SHARE Cyprus 2024 – International Architecture Forum will be held at Nicosia Municipal Theater on 16th April. The event is organised by SHARE Architects, the leading networking platform for architects in Central and South Eastern Europe, in partnership with Cyprus Architects Association (CAA) and the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (ETEK).
For this edition of SHARE Cyprus 2024, the keynote lectures will be delivered by Martin Gran, a Partner at Snøhetta, and Armand Paardekooper Overman, an Associate Partner at MECANOO, who are both set to grace the stage. Martin Gran is not only a leader in the field of architecture and design but also an experienced lecturer. He has shared his insights and knowledge through lectures and talks all around the world. Whether it’s speaking at prestigious universities in Europe and America or engaging with audiences in diverse international settings, Martin’s ability to communicate complex ideas with clarity has made him a sought-after speaker.
In line with the multifaceted activity of the office, Martin Gran himself has a complex professional career and a study background spanning from management, organisational behaviour, psychology, sociology, scientific methodology and philosophy. Working in the industry for a long time and having a pivotal role in developing Snøhetta’s legacy, he has also founded Snøhetta Design in 2010 thus extending even more the palette of projects by introducing product design and graphic design as two new disciplines. Martin Gran has a great impact in the international think-tank of Snøhetta due to his experience in strategy, communication and leadership and thanks to his interest in humans and the human mind.

Mecanoo combines the disciplines of architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture and interior design to produce unorthodox design solutions born from a strong sensitivity to context and a highly interdisciplinary design process. Each of her projects illustrates the four fundamental elements of her architectural vision: People, Place, Purpose, Poetry.
Armand Paardekooper Overman plays a pivotal role in Mecanoo’s research team MEC-LAB, focusing on sustainability. He stresses out that architecture and spatial design have a great power in modelling a better future and offer great value to our lives, trying through his implication at MECANOO to concretise all these ideas.
