Dresden’s Military History Museum / Daniel Libeskind With Polish-Jewish descent, American architect Daniel Libeskind often deals with difficult designs that evolves a complex mix of emotions. His famous designs includes : Jewish Museum Berlin, Felix Nussbaum Haus, Imperial War Museum North, Denver Art Museum, Westside Shopping and Leisure Centre, Danish Jewish Museum, and the under construction One World Trade Center. Like Frank Gehry, Libeskind is an expressionist. He is radical and expressive. The designs share mere similarities with each other. Often attracts critics’ disccussion. But as he believes, architecture should be risky, vibrant,unexpected and create critics. The ‘killing’ of the ancient building. The extension dramatically slices the 135 year old original museum through centre, destory the building’s symmetry and massives with an open and transparent glass façade, revealing some parts of the original building through opacity. It metaphors the openness and exciting new German democracy society pushes the severe authoritarian past. Libeskind’s design gave ‘life’ to the almost-abandoned-museum. It invites people to examine violent German past and experience the hope & courage and passion for peace.

A Gateway to New York Rebuilding Ground zero master plan/Daniel Libeskind
The memorial’s waterfall goes to the bottom where the victims of 9/11 lost their lives. It is made visible to the public . It documents the day. People have a sense of verticality of the depth of the event. w Five tall buildings echoes in the positioning, in the grid as a spiral form at the 1world trade centre. The tower of the 1 World Trade Centre has a symbolic height of
Libeskind’s desgin inspirations: • Create a space that has never existed before • A space we’ve never entred except our mind and our spirit • Yet it is what architecture is based on • Architecture is not based on concrete, steel and elements of the soil. • Architecture is based on wonder. • It is a story, told by hard materials. • A story struggles against impossibilities.
` ‘Sometimes it seems that the most important quality an architect can possess is optimism. Without optimism, you cannot do architecture because architecture requires beliefs in the future.’

1.1.1. Architecture as a Discourse
State of Art Project - contributed to the architectural discourse
Design Approach Attributed to the brief of the Ga - Memorable: • not only remembered by Wyndham City but also makes Wyndham remembered by the rest, the passing-bys, the never-beens. • should not be recognised from any preceding designs.
- Communicative: • • • • •
art of communication reaches subjects that are not explicitly available vibrant and pluralistic an art instalment that is not just an ‘art instalment’ stimulating
- Pointed: • even in a small site on freeway it has the power through its leverage to transform Wyndham City
- Raw & Unexpected & Real • • • • • • • • •
not just some abstract objects Untouched by experiences Untouched by expensive materials The art instalment is not just something we aesthetically appreciate But moves ahead in unexpected directions, making people curious, to wonder ‘why’, to make people explore further on the subject Leads to more possibilities beyond the site itself creates sparkle of new energy reaches human heart human soul - touches us and connects us
- Complexity: • it represents Wydham not just in terms of spatial complexity - City, Country, Coast, but also the complexity of our thoughts, mind experiences.
ateway Project • art instalment should mirror that complexity
- Hands: • Make computer respond to our design, not design respond to computer technology
- Inexplicable • • • •
the experience should be inexplicable in words it should operate in light, proportion, material and technologies. that connects people to varies sources that isn’t really frontal but is imbedded in the lives, history, and the city
- Emotional & Expressive & Radical:
• emotion is an important dimension that should be introduced into city life • the art instalment should be an expression of the city that tells a story • a story that is on-going and not static
• and people push the story forward - Optimism • most importantly • that we believe the art instalment is going to make an positive impact on Wyndham City • that can drive the entire social & political aspects of Wyndham City forward with big ideas • struggles through disbelieves • struggles through each problematic issues
