Studio Background

Daniel Libeskind, B.Arch. M.A. BDA AIA, is an interna- tional figure in architectural practice and urban design. With over forty projects worldwide, his practice extends from museums and concert halls to convention centers, universities, hotels, shopping centers, and residential projects. Born in Łód´z, Poland in 1946, Libeskind was a virtuoso musician at a young age before giving up music to become an architect. Today he is universally known for introducing a new critical discourse into archi- tecture and for his multidisciplinary approach. He has received numerous awards and designed world-renowned projects including the master plan for the World Trade Center in New York and the Jewish Museum in Berlin among others. Daniel teaches and lec- tures at universities across the world. He resides in with his wife and business partner, Nina Libeskind.

The new extension is housed on feature that bound together both East and Baroque building to the underground and housing stairs which descend beneath the original foundation and connect to the new building above. The descent leads to three underground axial routes, each of which tells a different story. The first, and longest, traces a path leading to the Stair of Conti- nuity, then up to and through the exhibition spaces of the museum, emphasizing the continuum of history. The second leads out of the building and into the Garden of Exile and Emigration, remembering those who were forced to leave Berlin. The third leads to a dead end — Void. The Holocaust Void cuts through the zigzagging plan of the new building and creates a space that embodies absence. It is a straight line whose impenetrability be- comes the central focus around which exhi- bitions are organized. In order to move from one side of the museum to the other, visi- tors must cross one of the 60 bridges that open onto this void. In 2004, the Jewish Museum Berlin commissioned SDL to design a multifunc- tional space that would provide additional room for the museum’s restaurant and extend the lobby to provide event space for lectures, concerts, and dinners. The glass courtyard which was completed in 2007 creates an adaptable space which can be used throughout the year while preserv- ing the open courtyard qualities of the baroque building.

The Ascent is a gateway to Roebling’s Bridge

18 Studio Daniel Libeskind Completed Projects The Ascent in its context The Ascent at Roebling’s Bridge in Cov- ington, Kentucky, is a 20-story residen- tial tower that was completed in 2008. Reaching 300 feet at its pinnacle, the 300,000-square-foot building includes 70 residential units, a swimming pool, garden facilities, large public event space, and a restaurant on the plaza level. The Ascent at Roebling’s Bridge was awarded a CNBC Americas Property Award for Best High- Rise Development in 2008. Its curving crescent form and slop- ing roof line are designed to maximize views, resulting in unobstructed visibility of the Cincinnati skyline from every unit. The ascending height of the building mimics the suspension cables of the nearby Roe- bling’s Bridge, a central feature of Coving- ton’s waterfront. It also links the low horizon of residential structures to the east with the more modern commercial buildings to the west. Through the vertical, non-repeating articulation of the facade, the building The Ascent’s symbolic upward sweep breaks from the conventional, horizontal orientation of typical high-rise buildings. Its multiple layers blur the distinction between interior and exterior, both visually and experientially. The resulting texture also provides shade to all units from the eastern sun.

Felix Nussbaum Museum Expansion

56 Studio Daniel Libeskind Completed Projects Aerial View of Museum The Felix Nussbaum Museum is an exten- sion to the Cultural History Museum in Osnabrück, Germany and is dedicated to the work of Felix Nussbaum, the Jewish art- ist born in Osnabrück in 1904. The Museum displays Nussbaum’s graphics and paint- ings done prior to his extermination in Aus- chwitz, and houses a temporary exhibition space focusing on the themes of racism and intolerance. The building was completed in the summer of 1998 and was recognized by TIME Magazine with a Best of Design Award that year. The building consists of three main components: the tall and narrow central Nussbaum corridor, the long main section, and the bridge, which acts as a connection to the old museum. In its pathways with their sudden breaks, unpredictable intersections and dead ends, the building structure reflects the life of Felix Nussbaum. Visitors enter Felix-Nussbaum-Haus at one end of the Nussbaum Corridor, whose concrete exterior is a blank canvas in itself. The constricted interior space evokes a visceral sense of how Nussbaum painted during his incarcerations — a space without a horizon which is necessary to understand Nussbaums’s oeuvre. As the corridor cuts through the building’s compressed geometry, backward and forward in time, the Nussbaum Corridor becomes a visual and kinetic embodiment of his life.

62 Studio Daniel Libeskind Completed Projects EXTERIOR DETAIL The Wohl Centre, a major expansion to the Bar-Ilan University Campus in Ramat- Gan, Israel, is the central convention center for the university, utilized for uni- versity programs and special events. The 38,000-square-foot convention center stands on a critical crossroad in the campus and opens a dialogue between the univer- sity and its neighbors. As such, it is a gate- way and beacon for the students, faculty, guests and the public. The concept for the Wohl Centre, Voices and Echoes, symbolizes and brings together the two essential components of the Bar-Ilan University: the secular and the sacred. Apparent in the form of the building is the interrelation between the dynamics of knowledge and the unifying role of faith. The building functions as an ensem- ble which through its flexibility of usage can function equally intensively during the day or the night. The building’s exterior is homogeneous in form, built in stone and metal, penetrated by the projections of the “labyrinth of letters,” which defines and organizes the glazing and indirect light. The functional volumes of the program and the subtle enigma of light are carefully adjusted to create a space that provides both active and meditative atmospheres.

128 Studio Daniel Libeskind In Design The skyscraper and two neighboring The Fiera Milano project is located in the towers form a central plaza in the park heart of Milan, spanning 106 acres on the old fairgrounds of this historic city. The scheme of Fiera Milano incorporates resi- dential and office development, retail space and a museum all built around a central park, a much needed open space within the city. Studio Daniel Libeskind won the commis- sion for master planner of the site in 2004 and is now working in collaboration with Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki and Pier Paolo Maggiora on the project. In addition to the master plan SDL will design the park, the museum of contemporary art, one of the office towers and the first housing area. The project is large, in both scope and area, and will ultimately create a new neighborhood in the cultural and historical context of Milan. The challenge posed by the Fiera site, which is central and critical to the RENDERING OF CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM development of Milan, is that it should not be viewed as merely a building development, but something more all together. Milan is a cultural center for Italy, exhibiting the best of what the country has to offer. It is a place that holds the dreams, aspirations and pride of all the Milanesi. It is in this way that the site must be representative of the great- ness of Italian design, furniture, fashion technology and deserves nothing less than a visionary, yet practical, urban scheme.
