  • Review of Theyear's Work
    Review of theYear’s Work Melanie Aspey, Director of The Rothschild Archive Researchers Numerous visits to the London reading room have been made by members of an ambitious research project led by Pauline Prevost Marcilhacy. The project aims to record and catalogue the many thousand objects – pictures, jewels, statuary, objets d’art – presented to museums and gal- leries in France by members of the Rothschild family. Ulrich Leben, a member of the team, is a contributor to this issue of the Review. The Archive has received a number of publications and offprints from members of the research team, including Les Rothschild et la Commande architec- turale: collaboration ou maîtrise d’oeuvre, in Architectes et Commanditaires, Cas particuliers du XVIè au XXè edited by Tarek Berrada (Paris: Louvre, 2006); Charlotte de Rothschild, Artiste, Collectionneur et Mécène in Histoires d’Art – Mélanges en l’Honneur de Bruno Foucart, vol.ii, edited by B. Jobert, A. Goetz et S. Texier, (Paris: 2008) and Le grand Appartement de l’Hôtel St Florentin, fleuron de l’architecture néoclassique by Fabrice Ouziel in L’Estampille / L’Objet d’Art, September 2008. Sponsored by a Rothschild family trust in France, the project is a collaborative venture with the Louvre. Dr Junji Suzuki contacted the Archive in the course of his research into the development of Japanese gardens in France. Dr Suzuki had long suspected that the Japanese gardens at Boulogne-sur-Seine, the property of Baron Edmond de Rothschild, were the work of the renowned gardener Wasuke Hata. During his visit to the Archive he was able to confirm this and also identified a picture of Mr Hata in a collection of photographs presented to the Archive in 2005 by Baroness Benjamin de Rothschild.

  • Free Forms of European Skyscrapers
    ZNUV 2019;66(3);31-40 31 Joanna Pietrzak, Anna Stefańska Politechnika Warszawska FREE FORMS OF EUROPEAN SKYSCRAPERS Summary One of the advantages of a modern skyscraper is its original form. The determinant of originality is freedom, a departure from rigid rules. The architects ‘play’ with the inspirations in the search for a free form, among others, by entering into dialogue with classic image of a skyscraper, which is reinterpreted or even negated. A large creative potential is associated with a way to define dependence of form and structure. Key words: high-rise building, tall building, skyscraper, Europe, architectural icons, aesthetic expres- sion, game of form and construction. Introduction Over the last 50 years, both the form of a European skyscraper and the social acceptance of such a tall building changed. Skyscrapers have become not only an integral part of the urban surrounding, but also icons of identification of some large cities. The importance of iconic architecture was appreciated after the construction of such objects as the Bilbao museum or the Kunsthaus in Graz. Developers identify the form of the building with a marketing advantage and cooperate with famous architects in order to design original high-rise buildings (Sterlitz 2005). In modern architecture, the originality is determined by the free, i.e. deviating from rules (Słownik Języka Polskiego 2012), form of the building. In searching for such form, archi- tects play with inspirations: they refer to different styles and to unique local conditions. Even 25 years ago, a typical tall building would still be seen as an anonymous workplace. The latest projects are objects of public admiration, oftentimes acting as tourist attractions (Rees et al.

  • Commerzbank: the Social Tower
    Commerzbank: The Social Tower September 1995 Many of us spend more time at our place of work than we do at home, so the nature of the workplace directly affects the quality of our lives - and indirectly that of our families. Some years ago many people were predicting the paperless office. That has proved to be a myth, despite the widespread use of computers and word processors. Today there is a similar myth, which suggests that we can all work at home and thereby eliminate the need for offices and corporate headquarters. Whilst the technology may exist to create such possibilities, the social needs for people to come together are very deeply rooted; notwithstanding teleconferencing, virtual reality and expanded horizons of private time for leisure. What is changing, however, is the level of our expectations. This is reflected in the so-called ‘green revolution’. We not only expect higher standards of comfort and amenity when we go to work, but we expect them to be created in a socially responsible manner, which will be mindful of the longer term consequences for future generations. The legislation and attitudes to such issues are more progressive in Germany than most other countries. In particular the climate of opinion in the city of Frankfurt further encourages the pursuit of higher design standards in both the public and private domain. To be socially responsible any building should work both from the outside in the civic context of its site, and from the inside, by responding to the special functions which generate the need for the building.

All its programmes have been awarded the official label of the European Year of Cultural Heritage. 2018 was the final year that AEJM and the Jewish Museum Berlin were able to benefit from a multiple-year grant from the German Federal Foreign Office, which allowed us to organise ten successful curatorial seminars in five years. The final editions of the Advanced Curatorial Education Pro- gramme were held in Frankfurt and Jerusalem. It is my pleasure to thank our organising team in Vienna, Dr. Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek and Dr. Michaela Feurstein-Prasser, for their enthusiasm and dedication that were key to turning our curatorial seminars into a success. We warmly thank our partners and sponsors, first and foremost the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe for its continuing support. Without the commitment of the following AEJM members as partner institutions, our activities could not have been successful: the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives in Budapest, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, and Museum “Jews in Latvia” in Riga, the Jewish Museum Frankfurt, and The Israel Museum in Jerusalem. The AEJM team was also instrumental in organising all our activities and I would like to thank our team in Amsterdam for all their efforts: Managing Director Eva Koppen, Communication Officer Robbie Schweiger, and Conference Coordinator Nikki Boot.

  • Global Conference for Jewish Museums
    UPHEAVAL GLOBAL CONFERENCE FOR JEWISH MUSEUMS COUNCIL OF AMERICAN JEWISH MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION OF EUROPEAN JEWISH MUSEUMS APRIL 2021 Throughout the past year of the pandemic, Jewish museums have faced unprecedented challenges and have responded. They have worked together in new configurations, have been resources for new communities, and are envisioning new ways to be museums for the present and the future. The Council of American Jewish Museums is proud to present its first online, global conference for Jewish museums­­­—developed in partnership with the Association of European Jewish Museums. This year, we are collectively unpacking the topic of Upheaval—recognizing that our profession has been greatly impacted by pressing issues and the crises of our times. At the same time, however, museums are creating their own upheavals—through innovation, reconfiguration, and approaches that will reshape our work for years to come. GLOBAL CONFERENCE FOR JEWISH MUSEUMS | APRIL 2021 2 PROGRAM TUESDAYUPHEAVAL APRIL 20 11:00 AM EDT WELCOME 11:10 AM EDT JEWISH MUSEUMS: CONTEXT MATTERS For this year’s program we have come together as a global community: to address common challenges and opportunities, to build a collegial community, and to articulate implications for the worldwide field of Jewish museums. While Jewish museums around the world share many mutual concerns, each one operates within its own geographic, political, and social realities. This session explores, from various angles, how context profoundly shapes the work of Jewish museums—from Tel Aviv and Sydney, to Hohenems and Washington, DC. Speakers AVRIL ALBA Consulting Scholar, Holocaust Memorial Museum–Sydney Jewish Museum KARA BLOND Executive Director, Capital Jewish Museum HANNO LOEWY Director, Jewish Museum Hohenems DAN TADMOR CEO, ANU—Museum of the Jewish People Moderated by BARBARA KIRSHENBLATT-GIMBLETT Ronald S.
