Daniel Libeskind is a Polish-American architect known for his deconstructivist designs. His most famous work is the Jewish Museum in Berlin, which uses fragmented and distorted forms to symbolize the disappearance and trauma of Jewish culture during the Holocaust. Through its zigzag shape, slanted windows, and voids within, the museum aims to disorient visitors and convey emotions of absence and invisibility. Libeskind's design for the museum, including a garden representing exile, uses architectural elements to express the suffering of Holocaust victims in a concrete yet abstract way.
DECONSTRUCTIVISM
Started in the 1980’s
It views architecture in bits and pieces.
have no visual logic
Buildings may appear to be made up of abstract forms.
More than we say free flow of forms
Ideas were borrowed from the French philosopher, Jacques Derrida.
Structuralism- Art movement in Architecture.pptxSharupPaul
Hello everyone,
Here I prepared a slide on structuralism.Structuralism is a movement in architecture and urban planning that evolved around the middle of the 20th century. It was a reaction to Rationalism's (CIAM-Functionalism) perceived lifeless expression of urban planning that ignored the identity of the inhabitants and urban forms.So I want to share this.
This project was an attempt to investigate the art museum as an specific building type as well as the issues involved in the design of spaces for contemporary art. As every architectonic object, art museums are deeply connected with the functions they must fulfil and must act on the user as a stimulus which requires a behaviour response.*
According to Michel Foucault museums are sites that have the curious property of being in relation with all other sites, but in such a way as to suspend, neutralize, or invert the set of relations that they happen to designate, mirror or reflect. The museum space is capable of juxtaposing in a single space several sites that are in themselves incompatible . Its space begins to function at full capacity when men arrive at a sort of absolute break with their traditional idea of time.
Designing a new museum requires a strong concept. An art museum should never be made as a neutral, weak thing. It should be made new and passionate. The museum space should create possibilities for the unpredictable. A space that is inspired, unconventional, unafraid of taking risks, humorous, provocative and spontaneous.
The new museum shouldn’t be there to train people how to answer but how to question. That what’s the new museum is for.

2. Deconstructionism Movement
Deconstructionism is a 20th Century school in
philosophy initiated by Jacques Derrida in the 1960s.
It is a theory of literary criticism that questions
traditional assumptions about certainty, identity, and
truth; asserts that words can only refer to other words;
and attempts to demonstrate how statements about
any text subvert their own meanings.
Jaques Derrida – Father of
Deconstructionism

4. Deconstructivism in Architecture
Began in the 1980’s
Continuation / development of post
modernist architecture
Developed due to advancement of
softwares and computer aided
technology
Completely departs from the modernist
style of architecture
Jaques Derrida’s philosophies played a
key role
Drew inspiration from formalism,
Russian constructivism, modernism
/postmodernism interplay,
expressionism, cubism, minimalism, and
contemporary art

6. Rejection of Ornamentation Breaks down the typified notion of a building,
Abstract assemblage
Rejects the acceptance
of historical references
Challenges traditional ideas of harmony andcontinuity
Stimulating unpredictability, controlled chaos
Deconstructivism is not only the deconstruction of structure, it also refers to the
deconstruction of ideas.
Deconstructivist architecture seeks to remove all rules and systems from architecture,
stripping it of all the codified methods of the past.
7. DANIEL LIBESKIND
“Architecture is not an object, it is a culture”
Daniel
Libeskind (born May
12, 1946) is a Polish-
American Artist,
Architect, Professor
and set
designer of Polish
Jewish descent.
He gave great importance
to architectural drawings,
sketches.
• He believed in having a purpose or signifying something
through every project of his.
• “Building need not have the same formula”
• His works are a “concrete poetry”
He was highly influenced by
music, literature and philosophy.
“Between the Lines”
8. The Jewish MuseumBerlin
is one of the largest Jewish
Museums in Europe. It
comprises of threebuildings,
two of which are new
additions specifically built for
the museum by architect
Daniel Libeskind.
The program wished to bring a
Jewish presence back to Berlin
after WWII.
Libeskind’s Jewish Museum is
an emotional journey through
history. The architecture and
the experience are a true
testament to Daniel
Libeskind’s ability to translate
human experience into an
architectural composition.
Conceptually, Libeskind
wanted to express feelings
of absence, emptiness,and
invisibility – expressions of
disappearance of the
Jewish Culture.
A huge gap is carved throughthe
museum, symbolizing the
disappearance of thousands of
Berliners who vanished in the
Holocaust.

Architect Libeskind's design was quite startling. He set his
irregular zigzag building next to the former appeals court
building in complete contrast to the existing structure. The
designer created a monolithic structure clad in zincsheeting.
Its slit windows are designed to suggest scratches, wounds
and scars.
10. In front of the museum
stands Libeskind’s Garden of
Exile. Russian willow oaks
grows atop 49 concrete
pillars set on a sloped
foundation. According to the
architect, the garden is
meant to completelydisorient
the visitor. It represents a
shipwreck of history.
The old and new buildings—two pieces of
architectural history—never touch above
grade.

the rear of the Kollegienhaus
opens to an outdoorgarden.

structure of the pillars
and beams that meet

passageway connecting the old
building and Libeskind’s new structure.
The façade of the
museum gives few
clues to the
expression of the
building’s interior.
11. Slitted windows, as
seen from the exterior,
are harrowing
representations of
colliding train tracks. Five vast spaces in the new
building, called the Voids,
express the darkness and
uncertainty faced by so
many during the Holocaust
and throughout Jewish
history.
The bare concrete
Holocaust Tower is neither
heated nor cooled, and its
only light comes from a
small slit in its roof.
A trellis forms a living tunneland
Light at the end of the tunnel.
The museum is conceived
as a trace of the erasureof
the Holocaust, intended to
make its subject legible
and poignant.
