Studio background
Daniel Libeskind, B.Arch. M.A. BDA AIA, is an international 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 d, Poland in 1946, Libeskind was z 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 architecture 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 lectures at universities across the world. He resides in New York City with his wife and business partner, Nina Libeskind. STUDIO BIO Daniel Libeskind established his architectural studio in Berlin, Germany in 1989. Upon winning the World Trade Center design competition in February 2003, Studio Daniel Libeskind (SDL) moved its headquarters to its current location in New York City two blocks south of the original World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan. Since 1990, the office has been fortunate to be involved in a diverse array of urban, architectural, and cultural projects. The office has won commissions for major cultural buildings and significant urban projects in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, the
United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Canada, the United States, Japan, Spain, Israel, Mexico, Korea, and Singapore. The New York office has an average permanent staffing of 70 people.

The Jewish Museum Berlin, which opened to the public in 2001, exhibits the social, political and cultural history of the Jews in Germany from the 4th century to the present. The museum explicitly presents and integrates, for the first time in postwar Germany, the repercussions of the Holocaust. The new extension is housed on
the site of the original Prussian Court of Justice building which was completed in 1735 and renovated in the 1960s to become a museum for the city of Berlin. The new design, which was created a year before the Berlin Wall came down, started with the identification of a common feature that bound together both East and
West Berlin: the relationship of Germans to Jews. This connection was used to plot an irrational matrix that makes reference to the image of a compressed and distorted star the yellow star that had historically been worn by Jews on the same site. A void reaches from the roof of the 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 Continuity, 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 the Holocaust 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 becomes the central focus around which exhibitions are organized. In order to move from one side of the museum to the other, visitors must cross one of the 60 bridges that open onto this void. In 2004, the Jewish Museum Berlin commissioned SDL to design a multifunctional space that would provide additional room for the museums 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 preserving the open courtyard qualities of the baroque building.

Westside Shopping and Leisure Centre in Bern-Brunnen, Switzerland, is an urban scale architectural project totaling 5 million square feet. In addition to the 55 shops, 10 restaurants and bars, hotel, multiplex cinema, indoor water park with wellness center and housing, this mixed-use program
radically reinvents the concept of shopping, entertainment and living. With its impressive location above Berns A1 highway and its direct connection to the train and transport network, Westside is a meeting place for the whole greater region of Bern. The concept of Westside was to
WESTSIDE ILLUMINATED AT NIGHT
create a public space with day and night facilities, a self-enclosed district offering endless amenities and services, almost like a city within a city. Westside is not only a landmark, but an urban organism which attracts the surrounding region, becoming a place of excursions, meetings, seminars, entertainment and leisure activities. The building design integrates the landscape and the different directions of the site while providing a unique look to the external areas. Extensive window cuts in varying designs open up the faade. This has the effect of creating either a panoramic window for the food court and spa area or a web of natural light for the circulation areas. Furthermore, the views allow you to see the highway, gateway to the living area, the railway tracks and the widespread landscape to the south.

The Ascent at roeblings Bridge in Covington, Kentucky, is a 20-story residential 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 roeblings Bridge was awarded a CNBC Americas Property Award for Best Highrise Development in 2008. Its curving crescent form and sloping 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 roeblings Bridge, a central feature of Covingtons 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 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.

The Danish Jewish Museum is dedicated to the unique history of Danish Jewish life in Denmark starting in the 17th Century. Located in one of the oldest parts of Copenhagen, the Museum is housed within in a 17th century structure built by King Christian the IV. SDL designed the museums interior space while preserving the original building. Completed in 2003,the Danish Jewish Museum was recognized with an American Architect Award in 2005.
The Museum differs from all other European Jewish Museums because the Danish Jews were, by and large, saved from the Nazis by the efforts of their countrymen in 1943. This historical act of kindness, or mitzvah is the guiding concept of the Museum. The Hebrew word mitzvah means an obligation or a good deed which is symbolized in the form, structure and light of the Museum. Just as the experience of Danish Jews during the Holocaust is as a text
within a text, the museum itself is a building within a building. Visitors enter into an architectural structure which offers seamless organization of the artifacts. The entire building has been conceived as an adventure, both physical and spiritual, in tracing the lineaments that reveal the intersection of different histories and aspects of Jewish Culture.

The Extension to the Denver Art Museum, The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, is an expansion and addition to the existing museum, designed by the Italian Architect Gio Ponti. The 146,000-square-foot extension, which opened in october 2006, currently houses the Modern and Contemporary art collections as well as the collections
of oceanic and African Art. The Hamilton Buildings design recalls the peaks of the rocky Mountains and geometric rock crystals found in the foothills near Denver. The materials of the building closely relate to the existing context as well as introducing innovative new materials, such as the 9,000 titanium
panels which cover the buildings surface and reflect the brilliant Colorado sunlight. Nexus is achieved through close connection with the function and aesthetic of the existing Ponti museum, as well as the Civic Center and public library. The new building is a kind of city hub, tying together downtown, the Civic Center, and forming a strong connection to the golden triangle neighborhood. The project is not designed as a stand-alone building, but as part of a composition of public spaces, monuments and gateways in this developing part of the city, contributing to the synergy amongst both large and intimate neighboring spaces.

Located in the heart of Las Vegas Boulevard, Crystals is the 500,000-square-foot retail and entertainment space, which is the connective center of the MGM MIrAGE CityCenter project. opened in 2009, CityCenter is a vertical city within a city which includes 2,400 private residences, two boutique hotels, and a 61-story resort casino.
The crystalline & metal clad faade signal to visitors well in advance of arrival that Crystals is not a traditional retail environment. An entryway into the retail area from the Strip will draw pedestrians into the public arcade, covered by a spiraling roof structure. From the interior, the roofs dramatic angles and skylights become a backdrop for the luxury retail and dining it houses which include Louis Vuitton, TIFFANY & Co., and Bulgari as well as concept restaurants from Wolfgang Puck and Todd English. The public spaces allow for a variety
of urban experiences: a water feature at the entry, cafes and a grand staircase leading to Casino Square at the end of the arcade, animating the entire space. The design and construction of Crystals employed the most environmentally conscious practices and materials. In November 2009 it was announced that Crystals achieved LEED Gold Core & Shell certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), making it the worlds largest retail district to receive this level of recognition.

The Imperial War Museum North (IWMN) in Manchester, England, tells the story of how war has affected the lives of British and Commonwealth citizens since 1914. The building was completed in 2001 and since that time was named one of the top 10 buildings of the last century (The rough Guide to England, 2008) and one of the top 3 Large Visitor Attractions in England (Silver Award at VisitBritains Excellence in England Awards 2007).
The design concept is that of a globe which has been shattered into fragments and then reassembled. The buildings form is the interlocking of three of these fragments which represent earth, air, and water. These three shards together concretize the Twentieth century conflicts which have never taken place on an abstract piece of paper, but rather have been fought by men and women by land, sky and sea. The IWMN is a constellation com-
posed of three interlocking shards of space. The Earth Shard forms the generous and flexible museum space, signifying the open, earthly realm of conflict and war. The Air Shard serves as a dramatic entry into the Museum, with its projected images, observatories and education spaces. The Water Shard forms the platform for viewing the Canal, complete with a restaurant, cafe, deck and performance space.

The Felix Nussbaum Museum is an extension to the Cultural History Museum in osnabrck, Germany and is dedicated to the work of Felix Nussbaum, the Jewish artist born in osnabrck in 1904. The Museum displays Nussbaums graphics and paintings done prior to his extermination in Auschwitz, 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 Nussbaumss oeuvre. As the corridor cuts through the buildings compressed geometry, backward and forward in time, the Nussbaum Corridor becomes a visual and kinetic embodiment of his life.

The Wohl Centre, a major expansion to the Bar-Ilan University Campus in ramatGan, Israel, is the central convention center for the university, utilized for university 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 university and its neighbors. As such, it is a gateway 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 ensemble which through its flexibility of usage can function equally intensively during the day or the night. The buildings 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.

The Contemporary Jewish Museum is a 63,000-square-foot facility, located on Mission Street in downtown San Francisco. Since opening in June 2008, the Museum has provided space for temporary exhibitions as well as public and educational programs, and is itself a symbol dedicated to the history and revitalization of Jewish life in San Francisco. Housed in the abandoned late 19thcentury Jessie Street Power Substation, updated in the first decade of the 20th
century by Willis Polk, and landmarked in 1976, the museum literally makes visible relationships between new and old, between tradition and innovation, between the past, present and future, bringing together 19th, 20th and 21st century architecture into one building. The CJMs design is based on the Hebrew expression LChaim, which means To Life. Following the Jewish tradition, according to which letters are not mere signs, but substantial participants in the story
they create, the two Hebrew letters of the chai chet and yud with all their symbolic, mathematical, and emblematic nuance, are literally the life source that determined the form of the new museum. The building is based on unprecedented spaces created by the two letters of the chai: the chet provides an overall continuity for the exhibition and educational spaces, and the yud, with its 36 windows, which is located on the pedestrian connector.

The Extension to the royal ontario Museum (roM), now called the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal is situated at one of the most prominent intersections in downtown Toronto. opened in June 2007, the Extension provides 100,000 square feet of new exhibition space, a new entrance and lobby, a street level retail shop and three new restaurants.
SDL also renovated ten galleries in the existing historical building as part of this project. The Michael Lee-Chin Crystal derives its name from the buildings five intersecting volumes, which are reminiscent of crystals. The intersection of two of the crystals, both dedicated to new galleries, creates a void, known as the Spirit House. A large
atrium rising from below ground level to the fourth floor, and criss-crossed by bridges at various levels, the Spirit House is intended to be a place of reflections for visitors. A fourth crystal, known as the Stair of Wonders, is dedicated to vertical circulation but also features exhibition vitrines at the landings. A fifth crystal houses the major new restaurant. The intersecting spaces of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal create a variety of atriums at different levels, affording views into galleries and other spaces within the Museum. one large atrium, known as the Gloria Hyacinth Chen Court, separates the new construction from the roMs existing heritage building and provides a nearly complete view of the restored heritage facades.

The project is currently under construction. The five new towers are sculpted to express the dramatic beauty and power of
ENTrANCE To ToWErS, PArK, AND ProMENADE
the ocean. The curvilinear geometry of the buildings plays with concepts of traditional Korean architecture, often derived from natural beauty such as the grace of an ocean wave, the unique composition of a flower petal, or the wind-filled sails of a ship. Instead of simply extruding the building footprints, the heights are varied and the profiles tapered to create a sculptural
composition on the horizon. This strategy gives the project and the city of Busan a new landmark while also bringing the most light possible into the developments beyond the site. In addition, the varied, sculptural forms create exciting spaces between the buildings, inviting residents and visitors to enjoy a unique outdoor experience.

The living space of this single-family residence is formed by a spiraling ribbon of 18 planes, defined by 36 points connected by 54 lines. The architectural form generates distinctive interior
spaces while framing both near and distant landscape scenes. Large glass planes virtually disappear within the ribbon, allowing unimpeded picturesque views of 18th century hay meadows and 250 year-old oaks. The Connecticut house is conceived as a continuous ribbon that unfolds in a clock-wise fashion around the southern-
most oak tree and extends to the southern and highest portion of the site. The continuous ribbon defines roofs, walls, and floors as a solid material and the infill material is glass. Portions of the ribbon are enclosed to form habitable spaces, some are sculptural elements and others are elevated walkways made of wood planks. The interior finishes are all designed specifically for the residence, from the seating areas to the cabinetry. Circulation through kitchen, living, dining, and sleeping areas is seamless and free-flowing, as is the distinction between interior and exterior space. Challenging both traditional and modern notions of the house in the landscape, this design gives nothing of itself up to its natural setting, but selectively incorporates the elements therein for the enhancement of both house and landscape.

The Military History Museum, currently under construction, will become the official central museum of the German Armed Forces and will house an exhibition area amounting to around 216,000 square feet, becoming Germanys largest museum The new extension was designed by cutting a wedge through the structural order
of the arsenal, giving the museum a place for reflection about organized violence. The 140-ton wedge of glass, concrete and steel will intersect the 130 year old original museum building. A 30 meter (98 feet) high viewing platform at the peak of the wedge will be the highlight of the new extension, providing breathtaking views of Dresden.
The new extension gives a fundamental re-orientation to the existing building by opening up the view to the historical center of Dresden. Additionally, its soaring presence above the roof of the original building, creates an indication of the museums modernization to the outside world.

The Grand Canal Square Theatre and Commercial Development in Dublin features a 2,000-seat performing arts centre which is integrated into a commercial area via two office blocks that include 375,000-squarefoot of leasable office and retail space. This is located at the heart of the Grand Canal Harbour development and creates a focal
point for Grand Canal Square. The project is currently under construction. The 117,000-square-foot Grand Canal Square Theatre is at the heart of the Grand Canal Harbour development. The building is based on the concept of stages the stage of the theatre itself, the stage of the piazza, and the stage of the theatre lobby above the piazza, illuminated at night. The theatre becomes the main faade of a large public piazza that has a five star hotel and residences on one side and an office building on the other. The piazza acts as a
grand outdoor lobby for the theatre. With the dramatic theatre elevation as a backdrop and platforms for viewing, the piazza itself becomes a stage for civic gathering. With their twin facades, glazed courtyards and landscaped roofs, the two office blocks which make up the Commercial Development provide sustainable, state of the art work environments. By designing multi-story glazed atriums, the commercial buildings integrate with the adjacent retail, residential, cultural and public space components.

Studio Daniel Libeskinds design study was selected in February 2003 as the master site plan for the rebuilding of the World Trade Center Site. In addition to a towering spire of 1,776 feet, the plan proposed a complex program which called for the construction of a memorial with waterfalls, an underground museum, a visitor center, retail space, a special transit hub and four office
towers spiraling to the height of the Freedom Tower. For more than six years, Studio Daniel Libeskind has been coordinating with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, Skidmore, owings & Merrill, Foster and Partners, Maki and Associates, richard rogers Partnership, and Santiago
Calatrava to realize Memory Foundations a truly remarkable design that will reclaim New Yorks skyline. In addition to the Freedom Tower, which was designed by Skidmore, owings & Merrill, and a world-class transportation hub designed by Santiago Calatrava, four more towers and a memorial are currently under construction in Lower Manhattan.

Prominently situated at the entrance to Singapores historic Keppel Harbor, reflections at Keppel Bay is a two-million-square-foot residential development comprised of 6 high-rise towers and 11 low-rise villa apartment blocks of 68 floors each. A series of undulating towers is the focal point of this project. These sleek
curving forms of alternating heights create graceful openings and gaps between the structures. The spaces between the buildings allow for views to the horizon beyond. The resulting composition is a creative interplay of changing planes and reflections. It will contribute immensely to Singapores skyline and vitality as a world class city.
This project, which will include 1,129 residential units is expected to be topped off in 2011. Model show flats are currently on display and sales for the apartments have already begun.

Located in Warsaw, Zlota 44 represents a new direction for high-rise residential living in Poland. Zlota 44 is a soaring 54 floor high rise that includes 251 residential units. In 2008, Zlota 44 was awarded CNBC Europe & Africa Property Awards in 4 categories: Architecture, redevelopment, Highrise Architecture and High-rise Development. The project is currently under construction and scheduled for completion in 2010.
The design of Zlota 44 is inspired by Warsaws history and as a response to its destruction and postwar russian reconstruction. The tower provides a form in which a new skyline can be read moving away from the corporate architecture that has kept Warsaw a tabula rasa. The building, both symbolically and physically, offers a new light to the city with its eastern face sculpted by the path of the sun to provide needed daylight to the surrounding buildings.

K-Bogen, currently in design, is a six-story 432,300-square-foot office and retail complex for downtown Dsseldorf which marks an important transition between urban space and landscape. Two city blocks will be joined with one continuous roof line, forming a unified space for walking, shopping and working.
The building will also create a connected space between the Schadowplatz, a pedestrian street, and the Hofgarten, the central park in Dsseldorf. The program for K-Bogen calls for flagship retail stores on the three lower floors and offices with business centers on the three upper floors. A two-
story connecting bridge with roof terrace connects the east and west blocks of KBogen; between the two blocks are green courtyard spaces, which will also provide generous daylight to the interior offices.

THE SKYSCrAPEr AND TWo NEIGHBorING ToWErS ForM A CENTrAL PLAZA IN THE PArK
The Fiera Milano project is located in the heart of Milan, spanning 106 acres on the old fairgrounds of this historic city. The scheme of Fiera Milano incorporates residential 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 commission 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 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 greatness of Italian design, furniture, fashion technology and deserves nothing less than a visionary, yet practical, urban scheme.

Dream Hub, a major redevelopment for the Yongsan International Business District of Seoul, South Korea dramatically reinvents the landscape of Koreas historic capital city. This sustainable urban development is made up of over 30 million square feet of built area and will include a new international business district, world-class shop-
ping, residential neighborhoods, cultural institutions, educational facilities and transportation, all sited in a large urban park along the Han river. Ground is scheduled to break on the site in 2011. The master plan is designed from the ground up it is a development that puts people first, celebrates creativity, community, sustainability and diversity to create a vibrant city center; the soul of Seoul. This innovative project will transform the city into a more livable and architecturally appealing destination for business and will bring new international commerce to Seoul. The main concept is a simple and bold.
The site is broken into islands distinct forms that together, like an archipelago, create a composition in the landscape. outside the islands, the site is developed into a generous natural landscape which acts as the sea connecting the islands together. The islands become distinct neighborhoods with their own unique program area, character, community and atmosphere. Although they are distinct and human scaled, together the islands create a diverse, active, vibrant city life. These island neighborhoods break down the overall density and mass of the large urban development to create a pedestrian scale that is at once exciting, livable and pleasant.
