The firm founded by Libeskind is a place for the collaboration of architects and designers who believe that architecture «is a practice of optimism.» «We approach our projects with an attitude of making great places, for this you must believe in the future without forgetting the past,» they say.
In February 2003, after being selected to build the development of the WTC, Daniel Libeskind and his partner Nina, they moved Berlin's study to New York.
Most important works
Jewish museum, Berlin
It is one of the greatest museums dedicated to the Jewish community in Europe. In the building they highlight metal lines that resemble wounds; Windows with different forms and orientations. The main idea of the Polish architect was to transmit the void that the Jews who disappeared during the Holocaust have left.
Zero zone, New York
The New York zero zone reconstruction project, or World Trade Center site, is a structure with two swimming pools that form the silhouettes where the buildings that were demolished by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were located. Although the entire original idea of Libeskind was not preserved, it was achieved that its idea was respected that the footprints of the twin towers should become a memorial Not being used for commercial purposes.
War Museum, Manchester
Ironically, the building symbolizes peace. It is a building that might seem a sculpture for itself. Expresses the worldview of Libeskind, which stands out for the elaborate symbolism of his works. Both outside and inside, the whole set produces a disturbing, rupture image.
Denver Art Museum
It is a building composed of a series of intertwined rectangles. It is a geometric design of aggressive, pure and irregular forms. The materials that were used for its construction were the glass and titanium that reflect the picos and rock crystals of the mountains near the city of Denver. A cantilever volume crosses the street until it linked to the structure of the old museum building by means of a steel and glass bridge.
