Daniel Libeskind | Emotion in Architecture
World-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, shares passionately and with great enthusiasm his view on the importance of emotion in architecture.
”There is no story without emotion. I believe architecture is a storytelling profession. It tells a story. A story without emotion is just a report in the Wall Street Journal. But a story with emotion, that's what makes us human”
Daniel Libeskind (b 1946) is a Polish-American architect. Libeskind began his career as an architectural theorist and professor, holding positions at various institutions around the world. His practical architectural career began in Milan in the late 1980s, where he submitted to architectural competitions and also founded and directed Architecture Intermundium, Institute for Architecture & Urbanism.
Libeskind completed his first building at the age of 52, with the opening of the Felix Nussbaum Haus in 1998. Prior to this, critics had dismissed his designs as "unbuildable or unduly assertive”. The first design competition that Libeskind won was in 1987 for housing in West Berlin, but soon thereafter the Berlin Wall fell and the project was canceled. Libeskind won the first four projects he entered into competition for.
Daniel and his partner Nina Libeskind established Studio Daniel Libeskind in Berlin, Germany, in 1989 after winning the competition to build the Jewish Museum Berlin. A series of influential museum commissions followed, including the Felix Nussbaum Haus, Osnabrück; Imperial War Museum North, Manchester; Denver Art Museum; Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco; Danish Jewish Museum; Royal Ontario Museum; and the Military History Museum, Dresden.
In February 2003, Studio Daniel Libeskind moved its headquarters from Berlin to New York City when Daniel Libeskind was selected as the master planner for the World Trade Center redevelopment. The Studio has offices overlooking the World Trade Center site in New York.
An international figure in architecture and urban design, Daniel Libeskind is renowned for his ability to evoke cultural memory in buildings. Informed by a deep commitment to music, philosophy, literature, and poetry, Libeskind aims to create architecture that is resonant, unique and sustainable.
His architecture and ideas have been the subject of many articles and exhibitions, influencing the field of architecture and the development of cities and culture.

I think he is beyond that

“Emotions has formed the spiritual world”
I always thought he was a bit big headed until I heard this ....... how right he is.
Thank you sir 👍
Tak for dette. Det er ganske tankevækkende.
Yeah, his buildings poke that you, makes you feel pricked : emotion
'they try to seperate it , the great masters of purity' they dont. philosophers are there to think and explain. They dont try to ignore emotions but simply try to explain them. As to why for instance standing in san marco in venice gives us a throwback to our childhood. It has a reason and you can't ignore its just there and unexplainable. I'ts just very hard to and philosophers try to go over it with reason and logic. With modern day science and technology we've proven to see how chemicals alter our emotions. Applying ethics on aesthetics gives us a reason to talk and get that emotion in the first place. If everything was equally good than everything would also be equally bad, boring, not unique and not standing out. Which is obviously not reality. Philosophers are aware art is emotion. They just ask: why?

The question is how to convey that emotion through architecture?! Can any one answer me please thank you ❤

Through form. Form that does not follow funktion, but rather emotion. One might ask for a Museum build concerning lets say world war two; one might come and say okay we need a big space, glass is modern, why Not make a big glass cube? Decinstructivists like Libeskind though would first think about which emotions are connected with war? Fear, hopelessness etc. What forms could convey this feeling? A sharp blade like form could indicate the traumatic changes, which lives went through in times of war. And thats how you approach decinstructivism: think of emotions rather than functions and design your forms according to them
Everything seem superficial and I would like to see architecture the brings emotion
They are talking about emotions and they decided to show the video in black and white removing the colours and the sense of the place he is staying in ...has anybody been listening!!

A blank canvas gives you the chance to decipher true emotions, and this is exactly why those neutral colours Black and white are more powerful than you can imagine. Focus and take it all in... Emotions don't need distraction and certainly don't need embellishment to be beautiful...
