Daniel Libeskind

• A Polish American
architect.

• Birth date: May 12, 1946.

Jewish Museum

• Jewish Museum in Berlin was founded

on the 24th of January 1933.
• The construction on the new extension
began in November 1992.
• Daniel Libeskind offered a radical and
zigzag design, which was given the
nickname “Blitz”-which means
lightning.
• The two buildings-the  “Kollegienhaus”
and a new building by Libeskind have
no visible connection above ground
and is accessible only via an
underground passage from the old
building.
 Libeskind’s design for the museum was based on
three concepts: i. The impossibility of understanding the
history of Berlin without the enormous intellectual, economic
and cultural contribution made by the Jewish citizens.
ii. The necessity to integrate physically and spiritually the
meaning of the Holocaust.
iii. Only through the acknowledgement of this erasure and
void of Jewish life in Berlin, can the history of Berlin and Europe
have a human future.

MEDIA CENTRE

• The run run shaw creative media centre was built in 2011.
• It is located on Tat Hong Avenue, Kowloon Tong.
• It is an academic building on the campus of the City University of Hong Kong.
• The design is considered as an architectural icon.
• The structure is made up of steel and concrete with ceramic tile cladding.
• The prominent range of spaces, light and material creates an inspiring environment
for research and creativity.
• The centre provides some comfortable and inspiring places for visitors.
• The evolved spaces can be effectively used to bolster evolved learning. It breaks all
norms of a traditional centre of learning and thus inspires the student to do the
same break all convention, push the envelope and challenge the scope of the
creative mind.
