Libeskind usually leaves me dry but I like this building. The funny thing is that from the street you can barely see the newly inserted volumes. I agree with Curvy.

Who knows its not the architect, but rather the client who wants he likes, wants what they’ve seen work, and wants what their comfortable with… I think architecture should be constantly evolving, changeling the way we perceive our environment. I think we should question the building merit… does it work within the context of the site, does it create a backdrop for the art work or simply contend, and is that a good or bad thing? and if that doesn’t work for you… I always think… well it could be worst. http://www.mnbln.org/USBLNconference/images/Mall_of_America.jpg I agree that we shouldn’t judge the work simply based on the fact it’s another “signature”.

just a remarks… if one builds a museum with just rectangle forms… would you make the same comment as above? every “box” looks like a brother or a child of all those former boxes… and this doesnt matter… so why should it matter when gehry or libeskind copy their own language? they have a language and they work on the spatial qualities… good way imho ;-)

Liebeskind may have a signature style, but it sure works beautifully. The fragmented natural interior light reminds me of Le Corbusier’s church at Ronchamp in monochrome.

I don't even like Steven Holl and I'm insulted by that comment. Liebskind has built one great monument/building, eversince his first building it has been a series of half-baked iterations of a concept that expired over 20yrs ago!!! If I see one more of thesese folded surfaced tucked withing a brick facade... I will personally start a petition!!! Liebkind sucks, thanks, aAA Liebskind = Steven Holl… I don’t even like Steven Holl and I’m insulted by that comment.
