Polish-American architect, Daniel Libeskind, is one of today’s most influential and renowned architects, looks to draw attention to architecture’s impact on society with his unique approach to design.
Architecture and its impact on society often goes unnoticed, even though it is the groundwork for every city, town and household. Daniel Libeskind seeks to change this mentality. He has designed over 70 buildings in multiple locations, from Milan to Singapore. His most well-known buildings include the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the Freedom Tower in New York. Libeskind’s extraordinary character is visible in his designs, where sharp edges and clean lines punctuate a city’s skyline.
Libeskind’s parents were survivors of the Holocaust; such adversities have influenced and inspired him and his trademark designs. The Jewish Museum in Berlin, Libeskind’s first ever building, speaks to the complicated history of the relationship between Jews and Germany. History, culture, people, and surroundings influence the way Libeskind shapes his buildings and the way they interact with the city. Today, Libeskind is working on projects all around the world. Few architects can channel their vision and make it concrete, even fewer can go global and make an international impact with their designs. Libeskind has accomplished all of this, and more.
