1 DANIEL LIBESKIND Survey on artistic and cultural references that define the concept and design methodology. Tesi di Laurea Triennale BIANCA PROCINO Relatore: Prof. MATTEO FRASCHINI Luglio 2011

2 Bernard Tschumi National Opera, Tokyo Project is based on the transposition of musical notation principles to the spatial organization of the building. He creates five programmatic strips in which he organizes function in space following a temporal sequence and he sets up an open structure, the historical not codified articulation of functions, that assigns a key (tonalita') to the building. Event Cities Bernard Tschumi, in city interpretation in musical terms, contained in Event Cities, in addiction to transfer in music events that happen in city, he creates a section that doesn't represent landscape physical space but the proceeding of sound events. He uses again a traditional system of musical notation. Murray Schafer in Soundscape says that the idea of hierarchies and the idea of gravitational points is so strictly link to our culture that we use to transfer them in landscape organization to. Then every physical landscape is accompanied by a range of imaginary sound that gives it a rules.

3 Daniel Libeskind Born in 1946 in Poland by two survivors of the Nazi extermination. During his childhood he studied music with good results but the passion for design and architecture led him to depart from this world. The knowledge of music becomes the basis from which Daniel Liberskind generates projects.

4 "Micromegas and Chamberworks are score on which I orchestrate my actual commissions"

5 Chamberworks is the Libeskind drawing collection nearest to the musicale sphere. The link between his artistic expression and music is evident already by the title that means Composition for a chamber group of instruments. The collection, published in 1983, contains fourteen horizontal drawings and fourteen vertical drawings, in which the direction is more evident at the following of numbers. Daniel Libeskind, Chamberwork II horizontal, Robert Leonard Moran, Vision n.3, Four visions per flaute, arpa e string quartet, 1963 Wassily Kandinsky, Point Line Surface, Second Theme of Fifth Sympony by Beethoven translated in points, 1926.

6 Berlin Jewish Museum

7 The Jewish Museum is the most important work of Daniel Libeskind; it has been projected starting from 1989 and it was opened in September 2001.

8 Schoenberg, Moses und Aron "O Wort, du wort, das mir fehlt!" "Oh word, thou word that I lack!"

9 Table of Elements The choice to list elements of the museum is influenced by serialism, musica seriale. Libeskind doesn't limit himself to combine elements contained in the alphabet but with that he just shows ten of numberless possibility. Alphabet becomes a means to describe some situations like Plus Minus Symbol Page by Stockhausen. Karlheinz Stockhausen, A symbol page from Plus Minus Daniel Libeskind, Alphabet to Berlin Jewish Museum

10 Elevation's Composition Daniel Libeskind, Study to an Elevation, 1989 Bruno Maderna, Serenata per un satellite, 1969 Both compositions are moulded following an outline with trasversal line and elements that close in themselves.

16 Elements of Architectural Composition In this building it's possible to single out four thematic elements, the four volumes that, laid one upon the other, create an intersection like a counterpoint. Daniel Libeskind calls them B - A - C - H, letters of the name of the most important counterpoint composer. B A C H Like in a Fugue, a particolar kind of the counterpoint, each theme contains the material used by the other parts.

17 The four volumes appear well recognizable thanks to the choice of different materials that, in musical terms could be interpret like a superposition of different timbres.

18 Presence of verticality and horizontality #6 # #1 # #7 #6 #7 # # #1 Vertical Correspondence # #1 Horizontal Correspondence #2 # #3 # #2 # #3 In Philosopy of Art, Schelling writes that "Architecture, as the music of the plastic arts, has like it a rhythmical part, an harmonic part and a melodic part". Building's rhythmic part is defined by the whole of structural grid; Like horizontal and vertical continuity, harmony and melody are expressed in the foyer system that wrap up the concert hall.
