In Daniel Libeskind's studio : On the occasion of the Lectio Magistralis he held for the IX international Grand Prix Casalgrande Padana architectural award, Daniel Libeskind welcomed us into his studio to tell us about his work and his very personal approach to the poetics of building. He lingered on his passion for freehand drawing, his keenness on sustainable projects, his thoughtful relationship with his assistants when developing works that are as autobiographical as they are many-voiced, his deep bonds with the city of Milan and, last but not least, the reasons why he used ceramics in his City Life project: from the relation with tradition to the great innovative character of such material in terms of performance and expressiveness.

Architecture is a Language: Daniel Libeskind at TEDxDUBLIN : TEDxDublin was hosted by Science Gallery at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on September 8th, 2012. http://www.TEDxDublin.com Daniel Libeskind believes that buildings are crafted with perceptible human energy, and that they address the greater cultural context in which they are built. Best known for designing iconic buildings like the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Libeskind also designed the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and the masterplan for the new World Trade Center site in New York City. His commitment to expanding the scope of architecture reflects his profound interest and involvement in philosophy, art, literature and music. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
