Dreams of Freedom. Romanticism in Germany and Russia

Studio Libeskind was engaged by the organizers to create an exhibition design for the exhibition “Dreams of Freedom. Romanticism in Germany and Russia” that will be at the Tretyakoy Gallery in Moscow and the … in Dresden, Germany, respectively. The design by Architect Daniel Libeskind is a response to the masterpieces of works by the greatest artists of the first quarter of the 19th century: Caspar David Friedrich, Philipp Otto Runge, Johann Overbeck, Alexander Ivanov, Alexei Venetsianov, Orest Kiprensky, Karl Bryullov and others.  A key idea was to create a space that will give a visceral sense of the Romantic…

Aedes Architecture Forum: Dialogue Concert Series #3

Chamberworks is a set of 28 drawings created by Daniel Libeskind during the years in which he served as the head of the Architecture Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan in the early 1980s. The drawings explore the relationship between music and architecture. Christopher Dell conceives these as “a strategic performative approach to work constructively, and non-arbitrarily with indeterminacy. In this sense Formblocks serve as a lens through which the Chamberworks are musically read as scores.” On the occasion of Aedes Architecture Forum’s 40th anniversary, the series Dialogue Concerts.

Where Architects Live – Salone del Mobile 2014

“Where Architects Live” is an original installation, inspired by leading contemporary architects’ own concepts of the domestic space, conceived as a cultural accompaniment to the Salone del Mobile. The exhibition has been specially devised for the Salone, providing an exclusive glimpse into “rooms” designed by eight of the world’s most respected architects: Shigeru Ban, Mario Bellini, David Chipperfield, Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas, Zaha Hadid, Marcio Kogan, Daniel Libeskind and Studio Mumbai/Bijoy Jain. The concept underlying the event rests in the conviction that, of all design disciplines, domestic architecture is the most predisposed to evolution and the most suited to experimentation, given its capacity to conjugate architecture and design. We used to see only the work architects do for…

A catalog of the the first ten years of exhibits of the Frederic C. Hamilton Building, Not Square explores the impact of Daniel Libeskind’s revolutionary design on the curation of art.

Hamilton Building.

Impossible Architecture, traveling exhibition, Japan

The history of architecture includes countless plans and ideas that were never completed. Some were unrealistic or impractical, some limited by social issues of the time, others abandoned to focus on renovating existing buildings. Unfinished buildings, however, still encapsulate the artists’ and architects’ dreams and ideas. This exhibition looks at what became “impossible,” focusing on unfinished architecture in Japan and overseas from the 20th century and beyond. Blueprints and scale models by 40 architects and artists are on show, including Makoto Aida, Tadao Ando, ​​Archigram, ARAKAWA + Madeline GINS, Yakov Chernikhov, Yona Friedman, Sou Fujimoto, Mark Foster Gage, Pierre Jean Giloux,…

Great Modern Architecture

From the Publisher “All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts or stimulates the persons in that space.”-Philip Johnson A society’s architecture can tell us a huge amount about its people, including their collective priorities, their deepest fears as well as their hopes for the future. A great building can do many things. It can sanctify or nurture, expose or protect, it can seem strong and impenetrable or warm and welcoming.

Charles Jencks, the leading architectural critic and writer, takes on “trendiness” in architecture: namely the rise of the “iconic building,” instantly famous and distinctively recognizable structures like Norman Foster’s “Gherkin” in London or Daniel Libeskind’s Ground Zero designs in New York. Although there have always been buildings built to be instant icons such as palaces and cathedrals, Jencks sees this latest trend as being fueled by the real estate industry’s thirst for profit and architects’ outsize egos. Since the debut of Gehry’s Guggenheim Bilbao, a roster of international architects has created iconic buildings that court publicity and controversy in equal…

Serpentine Gallery

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2001 by Daniel Libeskind with Arup Highlighting the beauty of the Kensington Gardens and their connection to the gallery, Daniel Libeskind’s striking design for the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2001, entitled Eighteen Turns, was created from sheer metallic planes assembled in a dynamic sequence. The building was based on the concept of an origami figure. This created an angular panel structure that seemingly folds over itself, forming overlapping spaces. The 35x18x7m aluminum structure functions as a lecture theatre, cafe and gallery party venue. The reflective quality of the material aimed to mirror the surrounding green space and the Serpentine…

Radix:Matrix: Works and Writings of Daniel Libeskind

Known for his dramatic, complex, and often controversial work, Daniel Libeskind has made a name for himself as a thinking-man’s architect. His most well-known structures, including the Jewish Museum extension to the Berlin Museum and his “spiral” extension to London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, are as emotionally engaging as they are physically and visually striking. Most recently he was commissioned to design a new wing for the Denver Art Museum, a commission which is certain to draw worldwide attention. This multi-faceted volume offers a first-person view of Libeskind’s work, complete with thoroughly annotated sketches, plans, models and images of completed…

Fishing from the Pavement

Architect Daniel Libeskind is a man of wide interests. He studied music in Israel and New York and history and philosophy in Essex, England. He paints, draws and designs stage sets and costumes. It follows that he would produce a book as unusual, erudite as this one. Fishing from the Pavement is not an architecture book in any sense, but a surreal prose poem — a literary indulgence by a genuine polymath. It incorporates Libeskind’s wide range of interests, and traces the architect’s experimental, non-linear creative process. (Google Books) Daniel Libeskind NAI Uitgevers/Publishers Rotterdam
