Topic > Daniel Libeskind - The Jewish Museum Berlin

The success of architects is defined not so much by the problems they face but by the act of their creative and practical responses. In bombed Berlin, a new architectural language emerged. It appears with multiple contradictions, but not conflicts, from itself to its surroundings and within its own construction. This is the Jewish Museum in Berlin, presented by the young Daniel Libeskind in a competition to provoke the unpleasant history of Berlin immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. The Western tradition of museum building is distorted by its expressionistic form, not simply to house the remains, relics, art display, stands naked, untreated to house the ghost of German Jewry, a rare opportunity to visit an empty building for its such high profile budget. The challenge is to excavate the memory that was already there but suppressed by the disturbing medium of contemporary architecture.

His works convey optimism in the sense that architecture, if filled with a satisfactory amount of reasoning and justification with the help of progress in material technology and, above all, with creativity, will be able to address the depths of any project that you are looking for a poetic. incarnation. While modern architects sought to eradicate traces of history from forms, postmodern architects like Liberskind would embody traces of history between forms. In Lisbeskind's Jewish Museum, invisibility, implication and embodiment come first, then the advancement of material methodology helps build visibility and physical infrastructure.
