An international figure in architecture and urban design, the architect Daniel Libeskind is renowned for his ability to evoke cultural memory and is informed by a deep commitment to music, philosophy, and literature. Mr. Libeskind aims to create architecture that is resonant, original, and sustainable. Born in Lód'z, Poland, in 1946, Mr. Libeskind immigrated to the United States as a teenager and with his family, settled in the Bronx. After studying music in New York and Israel on an American-Israel Cultural Foundation Scholarship, he developed into a musical virtuoso, before eventually leaving music to study architecture. He received his professional degree in architecture from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 1970 and a postgraduate degree in the history and theory of architecture from the School of Comparative Studies at Essex University in England in 1972. Daniel Libeskind established his architectural studio in Berlin, Germany, in 1989 after winning the competition to build the Jewish Museum in Berlin. In February 2003, Studio Libeskind moved its headquarters from Berlin to New York City when Daniel Libeskind was selected as the master planner for the World Trade Center redevelopment. Daniel Libeskind's practice is involved in designing and realizing a diverse array of urban, cultural and commercial projects internationally. The Studio has completed buildings that range from museums and concert halls to convention centers, university buildings, hotels, shopping centers and residential towers. As Principal Design Architect for Studio Libeskind, Mr. Libeskind speaks widely on the art of architecture in universities and professional summits. His architecture and ideas have been the subject of many articles and exhibitions, influencing the field of architecture and the development of cities and culture. His new book Edge of Order, detailing his creative process, was published in 2018. Mr. Libeskind lives in New York City with his wife and business partner, Nina Libeskind. The Studio Libeskind office headquarters are in New York City. On this episode, Mr. Libeskind reveals his one way ticket destination to the Garden of Eden before there was a Tree of Knowledge and before Adam gave the apple to Eve. He shares why, what he would do there, whom he would take there, whom he would take with him, and what if anything he would want to build in this perfect state of nature. In the conversation, Mr. Libeskind also reflects on the role of an architect and the social responsibility he has. Plus, he showcases some of his completed work including his affordable housing projects in NYC, Maggie's Center at the Royal Free Hospital in London, and the Dresden Museum of Military History. He also shares projects now underway (he's working in 14 different countries at the moment!) such as the Einstein House at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, a museum in the Atacama Desert in Chile and more. Additionally, we covered what he thinks about each time he walks through Ground Zero (for which he created the master plan). And as a one-time virtuoso, Mr. Libeskind highlights what role music has played in his life and how music and architecture both rely on precision.
Maggie's centres have provided cancer care in uplifting, design-led architectural environments for the past 28 years. We visit the newest site designed by architect Daniel Libeskind. Plus: a new title from the Royal Institute of British Architects profiles practising women architects. Tom Ravenscroft and Monika Parrinder, the book's co-authors, join Nic Monisse in the studio.

This month, we mark the five-year anniversary of the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting at the Tree of Life. On October 27, 2018, 11 worshipers were murdered for solely being Jewish, in the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history. As the first installment in a four-part series, we take you inside the Tree of Life building before it is demolished in the coming months to make way for a new complex dedicated to Jewish life and combating antisemitism. Hear from Carole Zawatsky, the CEO behind the reimagined Tree of Life, and Eric Lidji, director of the Rauh Jewish Archive, as they explain their mission: to preserve artifacts and memories so that the story is preserved forever. Carole shares her commitment to honoring the victims, and Eric discusses the challenges of documenting an ongoing tragedy. Together, they emphasize the power of bearing witness to history and the healing strength of remembrance. *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views or position of AJC.

Transcript of Conversation with Eric Lidji and Carole Zawatsky: Eric Lidji: Pittsburgh definitely is not forgetting. It's ever present here. There are people who are healing and doing so in ways that, at least from the outside, are remarkable and very inspiring. And there are people who I'm sure have not fully reckoned with it yet. Carole Zawatsky: It's all too easy to walk away from what's ugly. And we have to remember. We can't walk away. Manya Brachear Pashman: Five years have gone by since the horrific Shabbat morning at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life Synagogue, when eleven congregants were gunned down during prayer – volunteers, scholars, neighbors, doing what they always did: joining their Jewish community at shul. This is the first installment of a series of episodes throughout the month of October devoted to remembering and honoring the lives lost that day and reflecting on how the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history changed those families, changed us, and changed our country. Today, we take you to the Tree of Life building that stands on the corner of Shady and Wilkins Avenues in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood to hear from two people in charge of preserving the artifacts and memories of the vibrant Jewish life that unfolded inside those walls until October 27, 2018. In early September, our producer Atara Lakritz and I visited the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood. Squirrel Hill, where Jews have settled since the 1920s, is quite literally Mister Rogers' neighborhood. We were there to interview those touched by the events of October 27. But it didn't take us long to figure out that everyone there had been affected in some way. All along Murray Avenue, in 61C Cafe, at Pinsker's Judaica Shoppe, at the Giant Eagle supermarket, when we told people why we were there, they all had a story, an acquaintance, a connection. Later, walking through the glass doors of the synagogue felt like we were stepping through a portal, traveling back five years, when life stopped, and the reality of the hatred and terror that unfolded there began to haunt every step. Atara and I were invited to accompany a final group tour of the building before it closed in order for preparations to begin for the building's demolition. The tour was painful, but we felt it necessary to share with our listeners. As we left the lobby, we were told to take the stairs to the left. The stairs to the right were off limits. Someone had been shot there. We were led to a small, dark storage room where chairs had been stacked for guests. A handful of people had hidden there as the shooter continued his rampage, but one man walked out too soon, thinking it was safe. When first responders later came to get the others, they had to step over his body. In the kitchen, there were still marks on the wall where the bullets ricocheted when he shot two women hiding underneath a metal cabinet. The calendar on the wall there was still turned to October 2018 with a list of activities that were happening that week posted alongside it. And in the Pervin Chapel where seven people died, pews punctured with bullet holes and carpet squares stained with blood were no longer there. No ark either. But remarkably, the stained glass windows remained with images and symbols of Jewish contributions to America, the land to which the ancestors of so many worshipers once inside that synagogue had fled to and found safety. Those windows will be carefully removed by the son of the man who first installed them 70 years ago. And they will return, when the reimagined Tree of Life rises again. Carole Zawatsky: The tragedy is a Pittsburgh experience. But it's also every Jew's experience. It shattered for so many of us our sense of security in America. This is our safe haven. This is where we came to. Manya Brachear Pashman: Carole Zawatsky is the inaugural CEO of the reimagined Tree of Life. Since November 2022, she has overseen the development of a new complex on the hallowed ground: an education center dedicated to ending antisemitism, including a new home for the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh; a memorial to the lives lost that Shabbat morning; a dedicated synagogue space where the Tree of Life congregation can return. Carole Zawatsky: What can we build to enrich Jewish life, to remember this tragedy, and to show the world that we as Jews should not be known only by our killers and our haters, we should be known by our joy, our celebrations, our rituals, our resilience. Manya Brachear Pashman: The founding director of the Maltz Museum in northeast Ohio, Carole has spent the last 30 years developing programs and education around the Holocaust and genocide, and overseeing projects that explore Jewish heritage from a national perspective and through a local lens. She led our tour. On October 27, 2018, the congregations of Tree of Life, New Light, and Dor Hadash, which all met in separate areas of the large, multi-story building, had just ushered in the new Hebrew year of 5779. Young students at the Hebrew school had written their own personal Ten Commandments that the teachers had hung on the walls of an upstairs classroom. Carole Zawatsky: Don't egg your neighbor's house, respect your parent. Every one of them said: Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt not kill. And those 10 commandments that they wrote in their little student handwriting were thumbtacked up on the wall in the very classroom where the gunman was apprehended. Manya Brachear Pashman: Before the rebuilding of Tree of Life begins, Carole's no. 1 priority has been preserving the artifacts and remnants that bear witness to what happened. Artifacts include the ark, damaged by bullets, the Torah scrolls, which were remarkably unscathed but for the handles. The list of whose Yahrzeits fell on that day, still on the podium; and, of course, the children's artwork and the wall behind it. Carole Zawatsky: In the work happening here, and in my role as the CEO, I constantly ask: ‘Am I doing it right? Am I doing enough?' And preserving the evidentiary material was incredibly important to me, that we have the physical evidence to bear witness. And as that drywall in the classroom in which the gunman, the murderer, was apprehended, was coming down, I found myself asking: ‘Have I saved enough? Will this story be preserved forever? Have we done everything we can?' Manya Brachear Pashman: Helping Carole with this Herculean effort, is Eric Lidji, the director of the Rauh Jewish Archive at the Senator John Heinz History Center, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Museum, in downtown Pittsburgh. Eric has been collecting documentation and evidence for the archive since October 28, 2018. Painted stones left in memory of the victims, hand-made signs, pamphlets, and prayers from vigils, sermons from interfaith services. But also a pair of tennis shoes, a guitar, a framed leaf from the Raoul Wallenberg Tree planted in Israel, a cross affixed with Stars of David -- all individual expressions of a community-wide anguish. Eric Lidji: Even before I entered the building, we knew that there were going to be pieces of the building that had historic value. Since late 2018, I've been in the building numerous times, dozens of times, doing work there. And it sort of culminated in this opportunity in early June, where we were allowed to go in and identify pieces of the building that became historic that day, and figure out how to get them out. Manya Brachear Pashman: This is no simple job for anyone involved, no less for Eric, who is accustomed to handling archival materials from generations past, not the present. Eric Lidji: It's hard for me to disentangle the work of pulling these things out of the building with the knowledge that these families that I've come to know and love, that this is sort of directly related to their loved ones passing. Pittsburgh definitely is not forgetting, it's ever present here. There are people who are healing and doing so in ways that, at least from the outside, are remarkable and very inspiring. And there are people who, I'm sure, have not fully reckoned with it yet. The stories that we're used to telling at the archive, they move much slower. You know, when you get records from 75 or 100 years ago, that's in motion too, but it's moving very slowly. And you can kind of sit there and watch it, and understand it. And get some sense of what it might mean. But when you're living through something, it's changing constantly, all around you. And it's responding to things in the world. And it's responding to people's internal resilience and their ability to grow. When I look out at the community, I see a lot of different stories. People are in a lot of different places. And it's going to be different on a month like this, where we're saying Yizkor. And it's going to be different in the early stages of the trial versus the late stages of the trial. It's assimilated into our lives now, it's a part of our lives. Manya Brachear Pashman: In 2019, Eric and journalist Beth Kissileff assembled an anthology of raw reflections by local writers about the Tree of Life massacre. It included only one essay by someone inside the building that day: Beth's husband, Rabbi Jonathan Perlman of New Light. Eric also contributed his own essay. He wrote: “I have no special insight into why this attack happened, or why it happened here. I don't know what would have prevented it from happening here or what would prevent it from happening again somewhere else. I don't understand the depth of my sorrow or the vast sorrow of others. I asked him if four years later he would still write those words. Eric Lidji: I feel the same way. You know, there's a second half to that paragraph, which is that, I do have the materials and I can describe those. The premise of an archive is that at some point, we'll all be gone. And when we're all gone, our things are what speak for us. And at the moment, there's a lot of witnesses here, emotional witnesses, I mean, who can testify to what this means. But there's going to come a time where they won't be there. And our job, I say our, I mean everybody's, our job in the present is to document our experience. So that when we're not here anymore, people in the future have the opportunity to have access to the intensity of the feelings that we had. That ultimately is how you prevent complacency. And so I don't claim any, I don't understand anything in the present. But I do understand the records. And I hope that we're being a good steward and custodian of them so that in the future, people have the opportunity to have access to real human feeling and so that they can really understand what this experience was like for people who were alive today. Manya Brachear Pashman: The Rauh Jewish Archive has collected and preserved thousands of artifacts and documents, but no physical or intellectual access has been granted yet. Cautious care has been taken to make sure families and survivors are ready and know what's involved in making the materials available to the public. Once that happens, a trove of electronic materials will be uploaded to the newly launched October 27 Archive, which will become the public face of the collection. The electronic catalog will help individuals, schools, and institutions such as Tree of Life to tell the story they're trying to tell. Carole Zawatsky: We're the only generation to bear witness to this. The next generation will not bear witness. Their children will not bear witness. We have a moral obligation to ensure that these lives are remembered and memorialized, and that we as Jews and as citizens of this earth remember what hate looks like and work toward a better world. It's all too easy to walk away from what's ugly. And we have to remember. We can't walk away. Manya Brachear Pashman: The Tree of Life building is now a shell of what it once was. The stained glass windows will soon be removed for safekeeping until the new building is ready to welcome them back. As the demolition crews arrive to remove what's left, Carole's focus has shifted. Carole Zawatsky: Our focus now is truly on working with our architect, working with the exhibition designer, and forming a new institution. This is an incredibly special moment for us, as we come together and continue to crystallize our mission, our vision, and form this new institution that will be a significant part of the Pittsburgh community, along with the national community. Manya Brachear Pashman: The architect for the project, Daniel Libeskind, a son of Holocaust survivors who is renowned for his redesign of the new World Trade Center site, has described the spiritual center of the Tree of Life as a Path of Light, which connects and organizes the public, educational, and celebratory spaces. Carole Zawatsky: We can never as Jews allow ourselves to be defined by our killers. And I'm delighted to be working with Daniel as our architect and his concept of bringing light into the darkness. Vayehi or, let there be light. We have to bring light back to the corner of Shady and Wilkins. And side by side with tragedy, as we have done throughout all of Jewish history, is also celebration. To have baby namings and B'nai Mitzvot. Celebrate Shabbat and celebrate holidays side by side. That this is the most Jewish thing we can do. When the temples were destroyed in Jerusalem, what did we do? We recreate. And that is the strength and resilience of the Jewish people. Manya Brachear Pashman: Carole also continues to build a multifaith donor base, comprised of foundations and individuals from Pittsburgh and across the country, to raise the $75 million needed to make the reimagination a reality, ideally by 2025. The reasons why donors give vary, but in most cases they're deeply personal. Carole Zawatsky: The events of 10/27 are personal for everyone. For those people who tell us: I heard the gunshots from my kitchen. I was with my children. From people across the country who experienced a sense of loss of safety. To non-Jews who say: I have to have something to tell my children why some people don't like their friends. What did I do? How did I help be a part of the solution? Manya Brachear Pashman: For generations, the Jewish people have confronted antisemitism in its many forms. But through it all, the Jewish calendar continues to guide the community through celebrations of life and beauty and wonder. Carole describes it as the bitter and the sweet. Carole Zawatsky: I've had on occasion, a Rabbi, a funder: ‘How are you doing? How do you get through this?' And for me, there's often a soundtrack in my head. And one of my favorite Hebrew songs is “Al Kol Eleh,” and through the bitter and the sweet. To me, it is the definition of Judaism. And it's the definition of what we're doing. Manya Brachear Pashman: Do you mind sharing a bit of that song with us now? Carole Zawatsky: Al hadvash ve'al ha'okets Al hamar vehamatok Al biteynu hatinoket shmor eyli hatov Al kol eleh, al kol eleh. Manya Brachear Pashman: This podcast is dedicated to the 11 lives lost on October 27, 2018: Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, Irving Younger. May their memories be for a blessing.

Die Ausstellung „Träume von Freiheit. Romantik in Russland und Deutschland“ ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt des Albertinums der Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden mit der Staatlichen Tretjakow-Galerie Moskau. Thema der Ausstellung ist die Krise des Subjekts im frühen 19. Jahrhundert, das geprägt ist u.a. durch freiheitliche Ideen in der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung, der Französischen Revolution und dem Dekabristen-Aufstand in Russland. Die Ausstellung, die ihre erste Station in Moskau hatte, zeigt über 140 Gemälde der Romantik rund um die Werke der herausragenden romantischen Künstler Caspar David Friedrich, Carl Gustav Carus, Alexej Wenezianow und Alexander Iwanow. Hans-Georg Moek spricht im Podcast mit einem der Macher der Ausstellung, dem Kurator Dr. Holger Birkholz, über Romantik, die Gestaltung der Ausstellung durch den renommierten Architekten Daniel Libeskind und die Kooperation mit der Staatlichen Tretjakow-Galerie Moskau in Zeiten von Corona.
Daniel Libeskind nasce a Lodz, in Polonia, nel 1943. Di origini ebraiche e figlio di sopravvissuti all'Olocausto, è considerato uno dei più importanti esponenti contemporanei dell'architettura decostruttivista. A lui si devono il fortunato Museo Ebraico di Berlino e numerosissimi altri musei tematici. Tra le altre opere celebri, il progetto del One World Trade Center e City Life a Milano.

For the second night of the Relevant Tones Tenth Anniversary Festival we were honored to welcome architect Daniel Libeskind and Open House New York's Dorothy Dunn to the stage. We screened a special preview of several videos from Access Contemporary Music's upcoming Songs About Buildings and Moods video series exploring the intersection between music and architecture and had a fabulous discussion.
Can you believe it? Me neither. I spoke with Daniel Libeskind - Polish-American architect, artist and set designer. He is known for his ability to evoke cultural memories in buildings. Following the 20th anniversary of 9/11 attacks in New York City and a recently unveiled Dutch Holocaust Memorial of Names in Amsterdam, we focus on perception of time in architecture. Why is memory important? How does architecture function as a medium for remembrance? What are the architectural tools and how to use them? How to materialise sadness? How to make the absence visible? And how to keep the optimism? Lots of crucial and meaningful thoughts and a very broad, eye-opening conversation. Daniel Libeskind says that architecture is a storytelling profession and that a building always tells you a story. Well, I hope this episode will help you to hear at least one more story that our cities tell. Klaudia Lachcik
You might remember the fanfare back in the fall of 2017, when Canada's Holocaust memorial opened in Ottawa, just west of Parliament Hill. Until then, Canada was the only Allied country without a national monument to victims of the Holocaust. The government paid $4 million for the Daniel Libeskind–designed project, while Canada's Jewish community raised the other $4.5 million. Later that year, a Hanukkah celebration was held at the newly minted site. But after that, only one other event was staged, in April 2019 to remember the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The monument has since been somewhat forgotten. And while the pandemic can be partly blamed for that, it doesn't tell the whole story. That longstanding vacancy ended on Sept. 14, 2021, when two men organized a memorial for the victims of the Babi Yar massacre, which happened 80 years ago this week. During the two-day slaughter, Nazi soldiers shot and murdered more than 33,000 Jews in a ravine near Kiev, Ukraine, marking the first and largest mass murder of Jews in the the Holocaust. We're joined today by the two men who organized the event, Joel Diener and Lawrence Greenspon, who explain why they did it and how they hope their event will serve as a wake-up call for the Jewish community to take advantage of the Ottawa monument more often.

Top of the World- Lessons from Rebuilding the World Trade Center
How do you rebuild a city within a city after the devastation of the worst terror attacks on American soil? Architect Daniel Libeskind won a star-studded international competition to lead the design process for the world's most emotionally charged site. He talks about what inspired him as a young immigrant to the United States, the enormous challenges he faced, the magnificent place he created, and how it can help shape the future of cities in a post-pandemic world.

Architect Daniel Libeskind has designed some of the most important cultural structures in the world, including the Jewish Museum Berlin and One World Trade Center. On this episode, he talks about his early life in Poland as a virtuoso accordion player, his entry into the world of drawing and architecture, and how he approaches a new project, from the earliest internal conception through the final result. He also discusses some of his ideas for the future regarding urban living and low-income housing.
The killing of African American George Floyd ignited anti-racist protests around the world - many centred on statues associated with colonialism and slavery. Why do these figures of bronze and stone generate such strong feelings? And what do they tell us about how countries deal with their past?

Our guest needs no introduction, as he is preceded by his architectural masterpieces, so we shall just share his advice: "Believe in something bigger than yourself, believe something that is not just on the common highway, but takes a path that may be more vulnerable, a path which may even make you fail. But take that path, because on that path you will discover something that is an adventure, that you could have not predicted when you started on that path," - Daniel Libeskind - Founder and Principal Architect of Studio Libeskind - Unplugged, conversations with creative minds, from the design industry and beyond, hosted by H&H Studio.
Linee spezzate angoli acuti e spigolosi... ovviamente parlo dell'architetto Daniel Libeskind
Vorrei parlarvi di architetti che stanno tutt'ora scrivendo la storia dell'architettura contemporanea come Zaha Hadid, Frank O. Gehry, Daniel Libeskind, Rem Koolhaas e altri... ma prima devo introdurli parlando dell'Architettura Decostruttivista che è il comune denominatore.
Nowhere in the world celebrates Modernism better than Palm Springs, California. Every February, they have a huge architecture and design festival called Modernism Week, which actually lasts 11 days. This was the fifth year USModernist has been at Modernism Week, talking poolside at the USModernist Compound, aka the hip Hotel Skylark, with nearly all the keynote speakers, authors, and special guests. When modern-day Dorothy's kick their red ruby slippers together, they don’t go to Kansas, they land next to in Frank Sinatra’s pool in Palm Springs. Modernism Week is a dazzling spectacle of mid-century architecture, martinis, lectures, art galleries, shopping, nonprofit benefit events, architecture documentary premieres, amazing parties at incredible houses, brilliantly curated house tours, detailed art and architecture exhibits, and much more. Today we kick off 2020 Modernism Week coverage with architect Daniel Libeskind, known for the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany, the master plan for the World Trade Center reconstruction and memorial, and the Danish Jewish Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark. He’s one of the world’s most highly regarded architects and someone people can trust to work with projects of great meaning and significance, especially where loss in involved. Next, host George Smart visits with the Queen of Palm Springs, the woman everyone wants to talk to by the pool, Nelda Linsk. Later a delightful chat with Alison Martino, producer, writer, reporter, preservationist, and a master chronicler of old Hollywood, in which she grew up as the daughter of singer Al Martino.
David Champion is the CEO of Maya PBC and Co-Founder & Director of Unlimited Sciences, which is a psychedelic research nonprofit that uses the thoughtful and anonymous collection of data to understand how psychedelic therapy can be offered with harm-free, positive outcomes at scale. Prior to this venture, David was the Co-Founder & CPO at Baker Technologies, the leading (and first of its kind) CRM for the cannabis industry. After successfully exiting the company with a valuation of $250MM, he served as a campaign lead in the Denver Psilocybin Initiative, which helped Denver become the first U.S. city to reform the psilocybin policy by decriminalizing the substance. David graduated summa cum laude in Architecture from Cambridge University and built a nonprofit to help Kenyan children access adequate schooling. Brought up in Papau New Guinea, Portugal and Scotland, he took his wealth of world experience and began his career in New York with Daniel Libeskind, working on the Ground Zero masterplan. David has a decade of experience designing consumer software and cultivating a wide variety of interest in behavioral data, digital art, user experience design, and mindfulness. Now, if you're wondering if there's anything this man hasn't done, just wait to hear how Unlimited Sciences is pairing up with John Hopkins to change the way we approach mental wellness. We also talk about: How David's formative experiences with psychedelics influenced his interest in the space now. The work of The Zendo Project, a subsidiary of MAPS that works to reduce the number of psychiatric hospitalizations and arrests by creating an environment where volunteers can work alongside one another to improve harm reduction and “sitting” skills during psychedelic experiences. The problematic, binary philosophy presented in the US, where plant medicines are seen as strictly medicinal or strictly recreational. David's involvement in decriminalizing psilocybin in Denver, Colorado. The importance (and enough-ness) of pushing just the first domino down to spark an entire movement. The collaborative efforts among the country's change-makers to bring safe and sustainable entheogen use to the masses. Seeing psychedelic-assisted therapy as a cause, rather than an industry. Cannabis as a product-centric industry, and psychedelics as a service-oriented marketplace. The creation of a longitudinal, observational research study specifically designed to investigate entheogens in a naturalistic setting. The importance of set, setting, onboarding, and integration for safe and meaningful “trips.” How to amplify the neurogenesis component of psilocybin for long-term benefits. We're on the cusp of discovering how psychedelics can help heal humanity — and we need your help!

Daniel Libeskind Edge of Order Clarkson Potter, New York 2018 Buch kaufen oder nur hineinlesen Rezension zum Nachlesen
Why does an architect have to be like a “camel in the desert?” Daniel Libeskind explains why in a conversation about his new book “Edge of Order.” He also shares thoughts about maintaining hope following trauma, not working for dictators, and why everyone should tap into their inner architect. Modernism Week in Palm Springs continues through Sunday with tours, talks, and a trip down memory lane to the heyday of Sunset magazine. Victoria Bernal recalls a childhood as a member of the “Sunset family” and says why the West needs a magazine that shares wisdom on everything from home design for California’s geography to how to “fish with a tire iron.” And, can you cure bad sound with good sound? Kate Mishkin takes a sound bath at 1 Hotel and finds that “this is the exact right time for sound baths, because we are living in a society that's increasingly anxious and loud and chaotic.”

Stress und der falsche Umgang damit ist wohl eines der größten Probleme unserer Zeit. Zumindest fühlen sich immer mehr Menschen gestresst - von ihrer Arbeit, von ihrer Familie, von eigenen oder fremden Ansprüchen und Erwartungen. Aber warum ist das so und gibt es einen Ausweg? Louis Lewitan ist Psychologe, Autor und Coach. Er hilft nicht nur internationalen Führungskräften, bewusster mit sich und anderen umzugehen, sondern ist auch der Co-Autor zahlreicher Bücher und der ZEITmagazin-Kolumne “Das war meine Rettung”. In dieser Kolumne fragt er Prominente nach ihrem Wendepunkt im Leben, einer Situation, in der sie sich existenziell bedroht gefühlt haben. Außerdem hat er in seiner früheren Tätigkeit für eine jüdische Stiftung in New York hunderte Holocaust-Überlebende interviewt und dazu befragt, wie sie das Erlebte überhaupt verarbeiten konnten, ohne daran zu Grund zu gehen. Diese Arbeit hat in so sehr belastet, dass er selbst einen Burnout davon getragen hat. Wir haben mit Louis darüber gesprochen, was ihn an seinen prominenten Gästen, von Elon Musk, über Daniel Libeskind, Til Schweiger, Moritz Bleibtreu bis hin zu Cem Özdemir (und 100 weiteren) besonders beeindruckt hat und wie er von ihnen gelernt hat. Er hat uns erklärt, wie Stress entsteht, welche unterschiedlichen Arten von Stress es gibt und wie man bei all dem trotzdem gelassen bleiben kann. Zu guter Letzt haben wir gelernt, dass auch ganze Gesellschaften in Stress geraten können und die Folgen davon meist sehr folgenschwer sind. Diese Folge ist wirklich eine ganz besondere Folge. Wir haben noch lange über das Gespräch mit Louis nachgedacht. Es ist sehr ruhig, nachdenklich aber keinesfalls langweilig oder schwer verständlich. Wir wünschen dir viel Spaß beim Zuhören und freuen uns auf dein Feedback! Unseren Gast Louis findest Du im Netz: www.lewitan.de Zu erreichen sind wir per Mail: fanpost@geilmontag.de oder bei Instagram: www.instagram.com/geilmontag und über unsere Websites: www.goodjobs.eu www.lassekroll.de
"I think that's the beauty of music, there's eternity in it. And I think that's true also of architecture even in ruined architecture, you can see an [eternal] sense of a spirit.” Architect Daniel Libeskind talks about listening to the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by J. S. Bach, and how music, like architecture, creates a shared space — rooted in memory but looking ahead to eternity — that connects us all. Daniel Libeskind is an Polish-American architect best known for designing the Jewish Museum Berlin and his master plan for the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan. Did you like the track Daniel chose? Listen to the music in full: Toccata and Fugue in D minor by J.S. Bach (arranged for orchestra by Leopold Stokowski)
Grand architecte américain, notamment connu pour avoir réalisé Ground Zero à New York, Daniel Libeskind nous explique sa vision de l’architecture, « quelque chose qui apporte de l’oxygène à la réflexion et à l’esprit humain. Ce doit être quelque chose d’inspirant, qui puisse pousser à la création et qui nous inspire dans la routine du quotidien, en allant au travail, en rentrant à la maison avec sa famille… »
In this episode of the Hotel Design Podcast we welcome design industry icon Paul Steelman. He’s been involved in some of the most influential casino resort and hotel projects around the globe. His company Steelman Partners, has been closely tied to the leaders of the casino resort business such as Steve Wynn, Sheldon Adelson and Kirk Kerkorian. Glenn and Paul touch on it all, from his start in a pre-gaming Atlantic City to a chance design the Golden Nugget and how that led to a seminal shift in what casinos would become. Paul talks about Steve Wynn being a visionary and how he got The Mirage launched with 1980s junk bonds with the help of the infamous Michael Milken and how the launch of this property changed everything about the Las Vegas casino resort scene. Plus, they talk about the pressure of creating what would become the model for the modern casino resort, what the Mirage design process was like and how much money the resort needed to make every day to survive. They even talk Siegfried and Roy the former Kokomo’s restaurant, which was a staple at Mirage. Steelman shares examples of why great design is essential and how it creates sense of place. Paul also reflects on the state of The Mirage today, and other stories from the early modern era in Las Vegas. Also, how Frank Sinatra and Steve Wynn’s relationship transformed the Golden Nugget both in Vegas and Atlantic City, how the Nugget the property reinvented east coast casino gaming. We even get an update on the current state of the city by the sea. The discussion moves onto the notion of creating an experience at “personal scale,” says Steelman and how that relates to properties and how that notion created design challenges at the original MGM Grand (now Bally’s), and how the casino forms the basis for a property’s energy and how other elements emanate from that energetic center. This conversation even examines the cruise ship like form of Showboat Atlantic City, Sol Kerzner and the creating of African casino resorts such as the famed Sun City. Also on tap, discussing designing casinos and resorts around the world from Dubai and Macau to Vietnam, South Africa and more. Here creating cultural relevance is critical and we learn about the process of how different cultures gamble differently and how that is reflected in design. After all, the American casino goer is very different than the prototypical player in Macau. In Macau, we hear about public casinos, VIP casinos and super VIP private casinos none of us will ever see. Plus, casino maverick Sheldon Adelson comes up as the conversation turns toward Venetian Macau. Other famous names that pop up in the conversation include Bill Bennett and Stanley Ho, before the conversation turns toward developing ship-based casinos. Finally, Paul and Glenn discuss the current and future state of the casino resort experience including the importance of great design to creating social media moments, the incredible resurgence of downtown Las Vegas, and creating highly organized entertainment experiences. Paul and Glenn also discuss Steelman’s ownership in a slot machine company, and how that company is using technology in new ways to lure younger casino goers. They sum the conversation with Steelman’s reflections back on how he and others changed the design-scape of the casino gaming resort business.

We’re 40! How did that happen? We grew up so quickly….. It doesn’t seem like two minutes ago that Bradley and I recorded the first, very shaky and nervous, episode back in January 2018. A lot has changed since then.Outerfocus started as a way to introduce some photography history, in an easily digestible manner, and to have conversations with photographers, about photography. The two things that helped me most with my own photography were: An understanding of where photography came from, and, what drove photographers to practice. Although the photography history aspect of the podcast has dwindled somewhat in the past few months, I feel the conversations are becoming stronger, and that takes us on to the, ‘why’. The, ‘why’, is what helped me to understand myself and the world around me. I learned more about photography by understanding the philosophies of photographers than I did by looking at their photographs. It made me realise that the idea is important, and the photograph is just a consequence of our study and practice. Maybe not for everyone, but that’s how I came to understand it and it fundamentally changed me as a human being. It also freed me from not just the constraints of industry expectations, but societal expectations, too. So, Happy 40th to Outerfocus! I hope that me passing on some of what I think is important in photography, and life, can raise some questions and create some new ideas for you. I’m not doing this alone mind you. The guests are adding their own unique perspective to the Outerfocus archive, and I’m still learning, a lot, and long may that continue.I expect you all know of the photographers that had an influence on me, but there are some that never really get a mention. Mostly because the genres they work in don’t come up in conversation too frequently. I mean, name one architectural photographer…….I could easily name a few, but that’s because it’s something I have a great interest in. I know who the first one would be, though, and when it comes to individuality there aren’t many better than the rather exceptional, Hélène Binet.Hélène is a Swiss-French architectural photographer living in London, and she is one of the leading architectural photographers in the world. Best known for her work with architects Daniel Libeskind, Peter Zumthor and Zaha Hadid, she has published books on works of several architects. She is the recipient of many awards over her 30+ year career including an Honorary Fellowship of Royal Institute of British Architects, 2008.Most recently she was honored with the Julius Shulman Institute Excellence in Photography Award in 2015, The Ada Louise Huxtable Prize 2019 ..........Full show notes -
In this episode of the Hotel Design Podcast we welcome Valeriano Antonioli, CEO of the Lugarno Collection, an ultra-luxury hotel company reinventing the luxury hospitality experience. The company operates properties in Florence and Rome. The company’s newest brand Portrait is designed to be an extension of the community in which its located and Antonioli shares the critical nature of this strategy as travel trends change. Oh yeah, it happens to be owned by luxury fashion brand Salvatore Ferragamo. Valeriano and Glenn discuss the importance of creating designs that aren’t quite timeless but will stand the test of time. They discuss the importance of working with a great architect and using only the finest materials to create a feeling of elegance, both in the hotel and on its grounds through use of Feng Shui. They also discuss creating an amazing first impression through design and service, keeping the property up to five-star standards, why the company uses a name other than Ferragamo for its hotels, how fashion informs their hotel’s designs and the importance of giving guests time. Also, Valeriano shares about the community nature of The Portrait brand, which he says empowers the hotel to be a destination management company and how their job is to enable guest experiences in the community. To create successes, they speak to guests ahead of their stay to create a personal relationship from which they can help set the stage for memory creating experiences.

New York City architects Abby Suckle and William Singer are the authors of Cocktails and Conversations: Dialogues in Architectural Design. AIA New York’s Center for Architecture has a great Friday night format: invite people to to hear a famous architect paired with a master bartender who creates a custom cocktail to share with a thirsty audience. Architects have included David Adjaye, Jeanne Gang, Peter Gluck, Frank Harmon, Tom Kundig, Daniel Libeskind, Eric Owen Moss, Billie Tsien, and Tod Williams, among many others. Host George Smart spoke with Abby and William at the Long Island Bar, 110 Atlantic Avenue, in Brooklyn. Joining them were David Moo and Toby Cecchini (inventor of the Cosmopolitan!), master bartenders behind all the cocktail creations. About a month later, George and co-host Tom Guild met Australian Phillip Jones, the Martini Whisperer, poolside at the swanky Hotel Skylark in Palm Springs. For over a dozen years Jones worked as a fine dining manager and ran restaurants and events companies around the world. Then he created a website for lovers of Martinis, craft spirits and cocktail culture with an Australian point of view. In 2015 he gave the first ever TED talk on the Martini. And as he was leaving the Eau du Vie bar in Melbourne one fateful night, a lovely gang of actresses approached ....

Sven und Cornelis erkunden das neue Zentralgebäude der Universität Lüneburg, entworfen von Daniel Libeskind. Nach überzogenen Baukosten und -zeit fragen sich die beiden, ob dabei ein funktionales oder nur ein schönes Gebäude entstanden ist und finden auf dem Weg zufällig noch ein anderes modernes zentrales Gebäude, das zum Vergleichen einlädt.

Daniel Libeskind, the architect behind the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the Ground Zero masterplan talks to EG about how we can capture the "spirit" of great urban developments. Libeskind, who will be attending Mipim this year as part of a collaboration with the city of Belfast revealed the importance of finding "the human roots of cities" before saying he would never start a development with the building or the concrete, but rather the will and desire of the people. "Architects can sit in their ivory towers," he says. "And suddenly a building appears. I don't like that kind of architecture. It should be about public involvement. Architecture is for the citizens."
In this episode, architect Daniel Libeskind discusses the perseverance, collaboration and creative process that define his iconic structures, which include the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the master plan for the World Trade Center.

In this episode of the Hotel Design podcast, we speak to Mike Suomi from Stonehill & Taylor, who discusses his and his team’s work on the iconic Eero Saarinen’s TWA building at JFK along. For Suomi, it’s a matter of getting into what Saarinen wanted to originally create when designing this incredible space. They talk materials and expected experience, how the original terminal was designed without straight lines and how that informed the design approach to arrive on a 1960’s aesthetic that works in the 21st century. Mike and Glenn also discuss how HGTV changed design culture in the same way the Food Network helped morph restaurant culture. They discuss how the firm also balances guests’ needs and hotel owner requests. They also go through the process of designing the Eliza Jane hotel in New Orleans’ French quarter, its in-depth design process, and how he and his team created a modern hotel from a series of abandoned warehouses while honoring the city’s history. Finally, they discuss bringing in a feminine design approach that doesn’t turn off more masculine personalities while also approaching residential style design in the hotel sphere, color trends and how the major hotel companies are embracing a more design forward approach. Also, get your chance to receive a free book from Porcelanosa, which was launched in conjunction with the AIA (that’s the American Institute of Architects) whose New York chapter run a program of architectural dialogues called Cocktails and Conversations.

Daniel Libeskind, a former academic turned architect and urban designer, discusses his unorthodox career path and repeat success at high-profile, emotionally charged projects. He also talks about his unusual creative process and shares tips for collaborating and managing emotions and expectations of multiple stakeholders. Libeskind was interviewed for the July-August 2018 issue of Harvard Business Review.
Architect Daniel Libeskind talks to Niall Munro about civic responsibility, the shock of memory and the role of the monument as a bridge between the past and the future.
In this lecture, architect Daniel Libeskind shares his creative process and thinking for many of his most prominent buildings including the Jewish Museum Berlin and the Military History Museum in Dresden. Daniel Libeskind is an international figure in architecture and urban design. His practice extends from building major cultural and commercial institutions to private homes and object design. Best known for designing iconic buildings such as the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the Imperial War Museum North, Libeskind is also the master-plan designer for the World Trade Center site in New York City. Libeskind's work is deeply connected to memory. In this lecture, which launches the Monumental strand of the Post-War Seminar Series, Libeskind shares his creative process and thinking for many of his most prominent buildings including the Jewish Museum Berlin, Military History Museum in Dresden as well as recent Holocaust memorials in Canada and the Netherlands.
Many Private Passions guests over the years have revealed their passion for Bach. But for some, the great composer has really transformed their lives. The great primatologist Jane Goodall, for instance, describes how she reached such a dark time in her life that she considered giving up altogether. Four of her workers had been kidnapped in Africa, in the chimpanzee sanctuary she'd established. The money for her research had come to an end. At crisis point, she went into Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, and heard Bach's famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor being played on the organ. Bach gave her hope, and transformed her vision of the world so that she could carry on. "It helped me to understand that I was a small person in a big world. And the world was very beautiful. It caused me to think about the meaning of our lives, and what am amazing thing it is that this little creature can encompass so much. So I came out a different person." "Bach deals with death, but also with transcendence..." - so says architect Daniel Libeskind who reveals how Bach sustained him when he was building the memorial to 9/11 in New York. Alan Bennett describes first hearing the St Matthew Passion in Leeds Parish Church when he was growing up, while Vivienne Westwood discovered Bach's Passions only recently: "I don't believe in God, but the beauty, the hypnotic rhythm lifts you." And tenor Mark Padmore talks about singing the Evangelist in Bach's Passions, how he never tires of the music, and how there's always something more to discover. As Joan Armatrading says at the end of the programme: " This guy Bach - how IS that humanly possible?" Produced by Elizabeth Burke A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.

Alex Gore from http://www.f9productions.com (F9 Productions) discussed his work with Daniel Libeskind, his firm in Longmont, Colorado, his podcast, http://Insidethefirmpodcast.com (Inside The Firm), sharing the behind-the-scenes with his partner, Lance Cayko, and his book http://amzn.to/2gRcHMY (The Creativity Code). This week on EntreArchitect Podcast, EntreArchitect Live with Alex Gore of http://www.f9productions.com (F9 Productions). Background Alex Gore grew up drawing wars of ants verses bees, playing backyard baseball, and being obsessed with Frank Lloyd Wright. After high school, he joined the national guard as a heavy equipment operator. There, he attended North Dakota State University and received a masters in architecture and construction management. He then worked under the world-famous architect Daniel Libeskind, teamed up with his best friend from college Lance Cayko to start F9 Productions. He’s the cohost of http://www.insidethefirmpodcast.com (Inside the Firm Podcast) and the author of http://amzn.to/2gRcHMY (The Creativity Code). How did you get to work for Daniel Libeskind? Going into Denver, Alex lined up several different interviews when he had a trip planned to be in town. He was back and forth with Libeskind, and was offered an internship first. Though he turned that down, he eventually was offered a full-time position. Did you carry any thoughts over from Libeskind to F9 Productions? Daniel Libeskind always did crazy fun projects, so Alex and Lance have tried to keep doing one fun project a year. They http://www.atlastinyhouse.com (built a tiny house) that was sustainable and cooler looking than traditional tiny houses. The goal was to make a commitment to do something cool every year. What are your thoughts on interning for a star firm? All of us interns worked a ton and were paid an hourly rate. At F9 Productions, interns are paid. When you’re sacrificing your time and energy in a studio culture environment, you have a lot to learn by doing that if that’s what you want to do. For F9 Productions, interns are just colleagues and designers who they work side by side with. How did F9 Productions start? When Alex got laid off by Libeskind, he called Lance and they made some plans. Eventually, Lance got laid off as well and Alex decided to move to Colorado and figure out how to work together. They worked as a tw0-man shop for a few years until they had consistent business in 2013-2014. Now, they have about ten people and even that feels stretched at times. The structure is a two-headed beast. They each have people who mainly work for one of them or the other, and in times of big projects they can pull from the other’s side. Depending on the project, they tend to hand off projects that are a better fit for the other person’s skills. Where did the name for F9 Productions come from? In college, Alex and Lance didn’t know if they really liked each other. When they finally realized each other had some useful skills, they worked closely together. They were on their computers all the time, and F9 was the key to render. They would tease their classmates who wanted to go home at the end of the day by saying, “Go ahead! Just hit F9 and the computer will do the work while you get some rest.” It’s progressed that their different companies now are set up following suit: F10, F11, F12 and F14. Are you going to sell your development units individually? We couldn’t separate the parcels, so they’ll be condos with an HOA. We’ll sell 6 on one side as units, and there’s still talk of renting the two on the other side. Do you think every architect should do development? Alex thinks the majority of...

An international figure in architecture Daniel Libeskind is renowned for his ability to evoke cultural memory in buildings.Born in Poland in 1946, Libeskind emigrated to the United States as a teenager and performed as a musical virtuoso, before eventually leaving music to study architecture. He began his career as an architectural theorist and professor, holding positions at various institutions around the world. In 1989, he won the international competition to build the Jewish Museum in Berlin. A series of influential museum commissions followed, including Imperial War Museum North, Manchester; Denver Art Museum; Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco; Royal Ontario Museum; and the Military History Museum, Dresden. In 2003, Studio Libeskind won another historic competition-to create a master plan for the rebuilding of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan.In this extended interview, Daniel Libeskind gives John Wilson insights into his design process and the sometimes surprising artistic inspirations behind his buildings.Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Edwina PItman
World-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind inspires Jaime and Amy with his eternally optimistic world-view and powerfully uplifting story of being born into persecution, immigrating to “the promised land” of the U.S. and participating in the space race. As the architect responsible for the master plan of the World Trade Center site, he composes memory in order to heal the future. Oh and he’s got mad accordion skills. Images and more from our guest!

It's hard to imagine a New York different from the one we know, but what would the city have been like if the ideas of some of the greatest architectural dreamers had made it beyond the drawing boards and into built form? The new book Never Built New York paints the picture of an alternative New York, with renderings, sketches, models, and stories of proposals for the city that never came to be. Internationally acclaimed architects Daniel Libeskind. Steven Holl, and Elizabeth Diller come together with author Sam Lubell to envision this alternate city.

On this, the 15th anniversary of 9/11, Michael Berkeley's guest is Daniel Libeskind, a world-renowned architect, known for concert halls, opera sets, museums, hotels and universities. In 2003 Libeskind won an international competition to produce an overarching vision for buildings which would stand on the site of the Twin Towers. That vision is now almost complete, and includes a memorial to those who were killed in the attacks. He's called his plan "a site of memory, a healing of New York". Daniel Libeskind had already made his reputation with buildings that symbolised and preserved tragic histories, such as the Jewish Museum in Berlin, and the German Military Museum in Dresden. In Private Passions, he talks to Michael Berkeley about the day he first visited the site and climbed down into the crater left in the earth. He says that experience changed his life - he began to hear the voices of the dead. He talks about how he decided this should be a "sacred site", and that the footprint of the twin towers should never be built on. He reveals his concept of a light memorial to the dead, created by using shafts of light filtered through the spaces between skyscrapers. The sun strikes the ground at exactly the same times as the planes hit the towers. Daniel Libeskind is extraordinarily musical; in fact, a gifted accordionist, he was something of a musical prodigy. He decided to follow architecture instead, but is still inspired by music. His music choices include Renée Fleming singing "Amazing Grace", Perotin; the contemporary Finnish composer Saariaho, and Mark Padmore singing Bach's Cantata for the 16th Sunday after Trinity - so the right cantata for 11 September 2016. Produced by Elizabeth Burke A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.
In this special edition of The Big Interview we look back at our best discussions with some of the world’s leading architects and designers.

When you listen to leading architect Daniel Libeskind relate his remarkable life story, it seems his path has been shaped by a number of what he describes as 'life-changing moments'. WAN Editor-in-Chief, Michael Hammond spoke at length with Daniel recently and heard about some of the incisive one-line observations - made by his mother, a virtuoso musician, and himself - which helped propel him to the heights of his profession.
Steve Bloomfield sits down with one of the world’s greatest and most interesting architects, Daniel Libeskind. Perhaps best known for the Jewish Museum in Berlin and for being master planner for New York’s Ground Zero, Libeskind discusses the state of the world, optimism and the place he calls home.
“My sister was three years older than I am, so she had been in the country only a few minutes. We were going with someone from our housing project on a bus, and my sister asked her in yiddish, ‘What is that building? It looks different.’ And this woman said ‘that’s not for you. That’s a very special school, you can’t get in there because you’re an immigrant.’ My sister walked into that school with hardly any english and met Mr. Kopelman. He spoke yiddish to her and said, “you can come if in one month I can see that you can fit in here. If not, you have to go to another school.’ My sister, within one month, learned English, showed her ability in science. She’s the only student I know of who ever got into Bronx Science without taking the test. She was a brilliant student. But i think, when you ask me about Bronx Science, that school had a soul. It wasn’t just a technical entry exam–it had people there who had a kind of life experience, motivation, and a profundity about human beings, and that’s what made that school very special. It’s kind of the beauty and also the charisma of that school.”
This week, we devote the majority of our show to a discussion with Patrik Schumacher, about celebrity and the insularity of critical discourse in architecture. The idea of the "starchitect" is onerous to pretty much everybody in architecture, but that hasn't stopped us from using it. It's a popular media fabrication that, by becoming a potent cultural meme in its own right (thanks, Gehry), has derailed significant portions of architecture discourse into the murky realm of identity politics – the aesthetics and politics of a built object becoming an inextricable part of their designer's character. Schumacher's Parametricism may be an antidote to that. We discuss Schumacher's recent op-ed on these subjects, in the hope that keeping the discussion going will flush out something useful (or even flush away the "starchitect" concept entirely). In the news, we touch on BIG's design for Two World Trade Center displacing Foster's, the resignation of five Cooper Union trustees (including Daniel Libeskind), and the scandal of Red Cross's contested use of earthquake-relief funds in Haiti. Our take on news is a bit different this episode; let us know what you think of it!
Design for War and Peace: 2014 Annual Design History Society Conference
This paper will analyse both spaces according to their scale, location in the city, authenticity, phenomenology and prosthetic memory, in order to determine whether design can enhance and protect our collective memory. Berlin has become one of the most prolific centres of memory in Europe: the amount of memorials, traces and documentation centres devoted to remembering the Second World War, the Holocaust and the Berlin Wall era is rather overwhelming. There is, however, and important distinction to be made between those sites of memory which are located on an authentic site, and those which have been framed in a building that has been designed to recall this memories. This paper would like to analyse these two different approaches through the interior design of two very different museums: Otto Weidt Workshop for the Blind and the Jewish Museum. On the one hand, the Museum Otto Weidt Workshop for the Blind is a remarkable space thanks to the authenticity that transpires from every inch of the space: both the inside and outside of this museum have been barely touched since the end of the war, and as such the connections with the space is quite strong. On the other hand, the Jewish Museum promotes a similar experience and connection with the past thanks to a very phenomenological design by Daniel Libeskind. This paper will analyse both spaces according to their scale, location in the city, authenticity, phenomenology and prosthetic memory, in order to determine whether design can enhance and protect our collective memory.
The use of the term "Architect" has garnered a lot of attention lately. Some say it's misused, others say Architects are too protective of the term and should focus on issues that matter. We've put together a panel for today's discussion including Stephen Hopkins, a recovering Architect, Brandon Kent, a designer in San Francisco, Evan Troxel, host of Archispeak Podcast, and our own Eric Corey Freed. We discuss Stephen and Brandon's article called "Daniel Libeskind is No Architect." We also discuss the legalities of practicing architecture and the perception of the word Architect in global marketplace. The post Episode 9: So You Wanna Call Yourself an Architect? [Podcast] appeared first on Architect Exam Prep.
Daniel Libeskind è nato il Polonia ed è cittadino americano dal 1964. Laureato in Architettura presso la Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City, ha ottenuto un diploma post laurea in Storia e Teoria dell'Architettura presso la School of Comparative Studies della Essex University. Dopo aver stabilito il suo studio professionale a Berlino ha realizzato progetti culturali, commerciali e residenziali in varie parti del mondo tra cui il masterplan per la ricostruzione del World Trade Center di New York, dopo gli attentati dell'11 settembre, il Museo Ebraico di Berlino e il Museo di Storia Militare di Dresda, attualmente il più grande museo tedesco, il Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre dell'Università di Hong Kong, il Grand Canal Theatre di Dublino, il centro commerciale Crystals at CityCenter all'interno dell'MGM Mirage di Las Vegas. Ha insegnato e tenuto lezioni in molte università nel mondo, da Toronto a Karlsruhe, dall'Università della Pennsylvania a Yale. Tra i premi e i riconoscimenti ricevuti, il "Berlin Cultural Prize" nel 1997 e l' "Hiroshima Prize" nel 2001. A Milano è oggi impegnato nella realizzazione degli edifici residenziali di CityLife, il progetto di riqualificazione dell'area dell'ex Fiera di Milano, di cui ha curato la stesura del masterplan insieme a Zaha Hadid e Arata Isozaki e per il quale ha progettato anche la Torre Libeskind alta 150 metri.
Victims, survivors, and their descendants transmit the power of moral remainders. This intuition echoes in unison Václav Havel’s 1978 dissident statement from behind the former Iron Curtain and Herebert Marcuse’s appeal to Walter Benjamin’s postsecular faith that the dominance of one-dimensional thinking can be resisted: The moral power of the powerless resides in those without hope and power for whose sake hope is given to us. I wish to meditate on memory and hope as transgenerational moral remainders. Home Page at http://www.public.asu.edu/~mmatusti/index.htm In a book chapter on “Redemption in an Antiredemptory Age” (Radical Evil and the Scarcity of Hope, 2008), I examined two contrary types of museums, the Nazi project in 1942-45 to convert Prague Central Jewish Museum into a pan-European showpiece for the extermination of the Jewish race and Daniel Libeskind’s counter-monumental museums in Berlin and Copenhagen. The Nazi museum project endeavored to rewrite the past through celebrating the annihilating deed. A memorial dedicated to spiritual genocide would actively block hope across future generations. This intangible dimension of genocide is appropriately described by Saul Friedländer’s notion of “redemptive anti-Semitism.” This brand of racial hatred can be characterized as “redemptive” in the contrarian and theologically perverse sense evoked by designing a museum dedicated to an anti-resurrection (or inverse redemptive beliefs that would serve the annihilation of the future. In this presentation, I will consider two sets of counter-factual yet real life difficulties that illustrate, one, the dynamic of a conscience which forgives itself without shame and, two, the fabrication of historical evidence against future forgiveness. The first set of difficulties arises in “The Conscience Of Nhem En” (Okazaki 2008), the story of a photographer who at 16 recorded faces of prisoners who came through Tuol Sleng Prison during the reign of Khmer Rouge. The second set of difficulties steps out of the frame of the documentary montage, “A Film Unfinished” (2010), called by the Nazis “The Ghetto,” that the propagandist filmmakers shot and cut in 1942 as their testimony about Jewish life in Warsaw. The Nazi Ghetto film and the Prague Jewish museum project (1942-45) represent inverted uses of cultural studies and critical theory that are deployed to manipulate memory and the future. The desire to take the holy out of the holy while retaining shells of the holy mark the most overt strategies of spiritual or “redemptive” hatred. The complaint against critical theory that dominates some 1,500 pages of the recent Norwegian manifesto of Anders Breivik should be addressed to these abuses of memory and culture; indeed, that text’s collage of moral and pious verbiage is underwritten by the rhetoric of hate. In my conclusion, I will pose for a moment of silence at the postmemorials that blush whenever futures forget moral remainders. Un/forgiving memory and counter/redemptive hope practice mindfulness against human temptations to underwrite heavens and last judgments with a theodicy. The Conscience of Nhem En (2008) & A Film Unfinished (2010) will be shown in conjunction with Matuštík’s Monday seminar on Memory and this symposium presentation
Daniel Libeskind is an international figure in architectural practice and urban design. With over forty projects worldwide, Libeskind's practice extends from museums and concert halls to convention centers, universities, hotels, shopping centers, and residential projects. In his conversation with Brown Professor Dietrich Neumann, Libeskind discussed his design practice, his architectural philosophy, and some of his most important projects.

Architect Daniel Libeskind listens to a solid block of uninterrupted music in the morning to start his day. “It’s not something of a luxury, it’s almost a necessity. And it’s not background,” says Libeskind. “I don’t do it as the hustle bustle of domestic life and in the background there’s music, I sit down, when [...]
Some architects depend on computer rendering and much of their reputation is built on computer imagery -- but when was the last time you saw a building in real life that looked better than the rendering? In the computer images, buildings are often depicted at night, with the translucent walls aglow, offering glimpses of life inside. Zaha Hadid, Daniel Libeskind, and Rem Koolhaas know the power of persuasion in creating a rendering as an inspirational sales tool. But what does this mean to all of us who have to live with the buildings -- in the real world -- and face the disappointment of seeing the building built, and it's not as ethereal, as glowing, as interesting as it was presented to us in the rendering? The answer might be found in a winking Jesus. Pictured is the rendering and reality views of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, designed by Zaha Hadid.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the architect Daniel Libeskind. Daniel Libeskind's parents were Polish Jews. Daniel himself was a prodigiously talented musician, but the family couldn't afford the attention a piano would draw to them and so he learned the accordion. In Israel he won a prestigious music scholarship - Daniel Barenboim and Itzhak Perlmen were other recipients - and the family moved to New York. In his teens Libeskind dropped music suddenly and completely and turned to architecture: In 1989 he won the commission to build a Jewish Museum in Berlin and it opened in 2001 amid much controversy. Closer to home he has designed and built the Imperial War Museum North at Trafford, Manchester - its design based on a shattered globe to reflect the themes of conflict. One of his most controversial designs in this country is the proposed V&A extension known as The Spiral. It has been variously described as 'a public lavatory', 'a pile of boxes' and 'quartz crystals'.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the architect Daniel Libeskind. Daniel Libeskind's parents were Polish Jews. Daniel himself was a prodigiously talented musician, but the family couldn't afford the attention a piano would draw to them and so he learned the accordion. In Israel he won a prestigious music scholarship - Daniel Barenboim and Itzhak Perlmen were other recipients - and the family moved to New York. In his teens Libeskind dropped music suddenly and completely and turned to architecture: In 1989 he won the commission to build a Jewish Museum in Berlin and it opened in 2001 amid much controversy. Closer to home he has designed and built the Imperial War Museum North at Trafford, Manchester - its design based on a shattered globe to reflect the themes of conflict. One of his most controversial designs in this country is the proposed V&A extension known as The Spiral. It has been variously described as 'a public lavatory', 'a pile of boxes' and 'quartz crystals'. His most recent commission and his biggest project to date is the complex to be built at the site of the destroyed twin towers in New York.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the rise in so-called spectacular architecture at the end of the 20th century. Is architecture to do with what we live in, where it's located, the buildings that accommodate at best so much more than a few private bodies, or is it the spectacular, even show-off, extravagance, even fantasy, of architects - or is it engineers who see the huge swash of public money as an opportunity to plant a place in posterity? Daniel Libeskind has been heralded as one of the greatest architects of his generation and of the latter half of the 20th century. He is the architect of some spectacular buildings - two of which are the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the highly controversial Spiral Extension to London's own Victoria and Albert Museum, which his critics have described as looking like imploding cardboard boxes.But why are we witnessing at the end of the century a sudden glut of spectacular buildings, such as Libeskind's? What do they say about the state of contemporary architecture? And do they show a blatant disregard for history? Is it merely‘the architecture of excess in a world of diminishing resources, a chic counterpoint at the end of the 20th century'?With Daniel Libeskind architect of the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the Spiral Extension to London's Victoria and Albert Museum; Richard Weston, architect and lecturer at De Montfort University.
