An architect who destroys forms breaks the generally accepted canons, designing controlled chaos, frozen in fantastic forms. He believes that people have long been ready to go beyond the usual framework in anticipation of a new one.
One of the ten most famous architects in the world, this deconstructivist believes that his works are a kind of language with which he conveys his emotions.
Musician and architect
Daniel Libeskind was born in Poland in 1946. As a teenager, he, together with his parents, former Gulag prisoners, moved to Israel. A talented boy who played instruments very well receives a scholarship from the cultural foundation and continues his studies in America.
Everything said that a brilliant musician was growing, but the young man fell in love with architecture and received a professional education. He always emphasized that music played a role in the design, to which he fully devoted himself.
World fame
1989 was marked by the creation of its own studio, and Daniel Libeskind became a famous person in world architecture.
Speaking about the work of a genius, researchers note the close connection of music and philosophy, where the master proved himself to be a great professional. Probably there is not a single architect for whom opera works became a source of inspiration. Daniel Libeskind is sure that each space has its own sound, and the whole city plays like a harmonious orchestra.
Memory - in the works
The deconstructivist, foreseeing the inevitable changes, admitted that the concept of "new modernism" is very important for him. According to the architect, it means the development of experience accumulated over thousands of years.
He was friends with Z. Hadid, who died in 2016. The unique female architect worked in the same style as Daniel. Fans of deconstructivism won a joint project for the reconstruction of an abandoned territory. And when the creator was asked if he could create a monument to Zaha, he answered in the negative: “An architect is a special profession. We create masterpieces, which are the memory of us after death. "
Holocaust Monuments
Celebrating his seventieth birthday, Daniel Libeskind, whose biography is filled with bright victories and recognition of his talent by the whole world, declares what Jewish architecture does. Holocaust Monuments are separate works among the general list of his works. The author tries to express the foundations of the religious and cultural traditions of the Jews.
Personal pessimistic outlook on life Libeskind, whose works can be seen around the world, broadcasts in his work. It reflects historical issues, turning an architectural work into a humanist one.
Means of communication
Architecture for him is the art of communication. But if the building is silent, it means only one thing - they created it like that. Such designs are demolished without a twinge of conscience. Many people think that a residential building is an ordinary building, and, for example, a museum is architecture. The creator does not agree with this statement and believes that any objects are built for people who should be pleased to be indoors. This is strongly convinced Daniel Libeskind.
The projects of the outstanding master of modernity are always of keen interest. When an exclusive series of private houses was launched into production, this became the main event that was talked about in the world of architecture.
Residential building and art object
Structures built according to environmental standards are conceived at the same time as an ordinary home and art object. Preserving all the signs of deconstructivism, the house is built with the latest developments and can be easily assembled in a short time.
The metal panels made by the unique technologies that are facing the building look like aged material. Behind them lies a special system that heats the room and warms up the water, and microelements on the facades generate electricity.
The house itself is completely made of wood, because the author is interested in ecology and how the residents feel in the creation he created. Daniel Libeskind, emphasizing the special connection of man with nature, offers people protection and safety in asymmetric buildings.
Commercial success
Of course, such an expensive villa will declare primarily the status of its owner. Unusual homes are bought by collectors and owners of private galleries, placing their exhibits on a vast area.
Commercial success is predicted for such homes, and cultural value is gradually becoming a brand.
