Daniel Libeskind is a very polarizing figure in architecture. You either love his work or you hate it. His designs for the Freedom Towers at Ground Zero and the Denver Art Museum have caused quite a stir amongst critics. So when I came across an interesting clip on TED, a site dedicating to sharing interesting news in the field of Technology, Entertainment, Design my interests were peaked. During the 18 minute clip Libeskind describes his 17 words of architectural inspiration.
They are as follows, and in no specific order:
Unexpected, risky, memorable, communicative, optimism, raw, hand, inexplicable, expressive, space, pointed, real, democratic, emotional, complex, political and radical.
What do you think?
