2 February - Architectural Space
Daniel Libeskind
Berlin
I am often asked, and ask myself, what in the world brought me to
architecture!
How did I get involved with building, since the path I chose was not
that of someone wanting the security of a profession, but rather one who
was engaged in the adventure of the arts, music, mathematics and the
trajectories of ideas.
How does one bring these dimensions to the field of architecture which
is resistant to change? Whole intellectual enterprises, from
astrophysics to genetics, from economy to cybernetics have evolved to
present a radically new picture of an emerging world. Yet architecture,
framed by tradition and bound by convention, struggles to break-out into
the contemporary.
This lecture will start at 5.30 p.m. in The Lady Mitchell Hall,
Sidgwick Avenue. An adjacent overflow theatre is provided with live TV
coverage. Each lecture is typically attended by 600 people, and it is advisable
to arrive around half an hour early to ensure a place.
