Denver Art Museum anchors a new cultural district for the city.

DENVER — For those who admired Daniel Libeskind’s early work, his recent trajectory has been painful to watch. After soaring to stardom in 1999 with the evocative zigzagging form of his Jewish Museum in Berlin, he has suffered humiliation in his role as master planner at ground zero, not so much for his design as his consistent refusal to stand up for it. And his worst buildings, like a 2002 war museum in England suggesting the shards of a fractured globe, can seem like a caricature of his own aesthetic.

The new addition to the Denver Art Museum captures all of the contradictions within Mr. Libeskind’s oeuvre. Its bold, often mesmerizing forms reaffirm the originality of his talent, yet its tortured geometries make it a daunting place to install or view art — hardly a minor drawback. And for all its emotional power, the building seems eerily out of date, and its flaws readily apparent.

Estes criticos... Eu não gosto nem desgosto da arquitectura do Libeskind. Considero algumas obras de cariz extremamente importante para a arquitectura contemporânea outras se calhar, demasiado exuberantes ou exageradas... Mas dizer, que o pior edificio dele é o Imperial War Museum... Por amor de Deus... o que será que estes criticos dizem da obra do Gehry, ou de outros... Ainda vou mais longe, o que será que estes criticos dirão das nossas obras quando chegarmos a este patamar?!?!?!?!?

"...the building seems eerily out of date..." :? ...mas vocês ainda ligam a coisas fora de moda?... Isto já é passado, já tamos à espera da colecção Primavera/Verão de 2007 :errf: :bash2:

Acho que o Tico referiou o "ponto-chave".

Há poucos dias vi um documentario do Arq. Libeskind do V&A e do Museu em Berlin...gosto simplesmente do conceito em torno dos seus volumes.

E este Denver Art Museum...apesar de nao ver cortes, nem plantas ou qualquer referente geométrico atrevo-me a simplesmente dizer que, exteriormente a forma me atrai: GOSTO.(full stop)
