Building designed by Daniel Libeskind
The Leuphana University of Lueneburg invites landscape architects to re-design the existing 15ha Campus in conjunction with a proposed new key building designed by Daniel Libeskind.
The competition is a closed invitation process with 5 participants following an international open application procedure. The invited participants will be asked to submit a masterplan (deadline Sept 6, 2010) and also to make themselves available for a week in October to present and discuss the masterplan with students at the Leuphana Fresher’s week, as well as support groups of students in associated projects.
Deadline for application is June 1, 2010. For more information, click here.
Can the landscape cover up the building?
LOL!!! Funniest thing I’ve read all day!!
Daniel Libeskind is overrated
Agree!!! Libeskind is a sham…look what he is doing repaeting himself over and over again. Maybe he is suffering the Gehry syndrome.
Why do people continue to hire this joker?
Isn’t it time to put liebskind down as an unfortunate footnote and then do our best to forget about him already?
Good grief.
oh look, another libeskind (yawn) project, and oh look, it’s exactly the same as all the others (yawn).
zzzzz.
Actually, I think this was based on one of Nina Libeskind’s doodles. According to Danny, she’s a genius too.
Bad Libeskind!! … Bad Architect! … Bad Boy! … SIT!
The most persistent feature of Daniel Libeskind’s work is that it looks like he rushes from the crude and half-baked napkin sketch straight to the fully rendered drawing without the intervening process known as ‘design’.
The first time I learned about Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum, I was amazed. But everytime I see the same old same old jagged edge, it’s getting boring. Seriously… every building is different. Where’s the design? Seeing his style everywhere is so torturous..
Daniel Libeskind, A big “black sheep” in Architecture.
Does Libeskind even try anymore? This looks like the standard, unthinking solution dumped on the site without any reference to place or program. Pathetic.
I like it how everyone here has jumped on the “we hate Dan L.” bandwagon….hes pathetic, a one horse show etc…… Surely you are not all judging this project from a single image?
It’s like something from a children’s book, “Let’s have fun with Architecture!” Now try to fit the round peg in the funny shaped hole!
What’s the lame excuse, sorry, I mean the programatic justification, for the “crystals” motif THIS time?
just come to laugh about all comments
haha
It’s sad to see architecture sink to such a low level. Libeskind has singlehandedly set architecture back 2000 years. The blatant opportunism of this talentless fraud is sad to see. He is disgusting.
I guess the hope is that a decent landscaping solution will counteract the negative visual effect of Libeskind’s silly attempt at design.
To the unjaded eye, in this single image, this doesn’t look so dreadful as reasonably to arouse so much ire. Better this than the godzillion boring modernist boxes and their feeble contemporary echoes. It takes a while to design a building and for it to be built, and a couple of minutes for a hater to spit his/her little bit of unsubstantiated vitriol that sounds just a little too personal.
If you don’t like him, ignore him. Or back up your opinion properly. And maybe confine your view to objects containing only the horizontal and vertical elements that predominate in the architectural world.
It is faint praise to say Libeskind’s work is better than “a gazillion boring modernist boxes”. But how does it stack up against serious work like that of, say, Renzo Piano or Peter Zumthor? Your comment is like saying that a transgressive meal featuring cat shit served with salad is better than a gazillion boring hamburgers. Maybe for you, but that doesn’t make it gourmet cooking. – And besides, it was interesting that you not could find anything positive to say about this pretentious design either.
To the trained eye this single image is so dreadful as to reasonably to arouse more ire than one can imagine. Better the godzillion boring modernist boxes than this feeble echo of intellectual pretension. It takes a while for a real architect to figure out a real building, but only a couple of minutes for Libeskind to spit out a napkin sketch with some unsubstantiated drivel that sounds like architectural theory.
Just when you thought Libeskind could not get any worse, he comes up with this hideous building.
First it was the random slash windows. Now it is the jumbled mess of cubes with rhomboid windows. Talk about selling out for a dumb formula…. Libeskind is worse than the hacks he denigrates.
