“Without memory we would not know where we are going or who we are—Memory is not a sideline for architecture, it's the fundamental way to orient the mind, the emotions, and the soul.”—Daniel LibeskindDaniel Libeskind is an internationally renowned architect and urban designer whose work spans cultural landmarks, museums, commercial institutions, private homes, and object design. Best known for the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Denver Art Museum, and as the master-plan architect for the World Trade Center site in New York City, Libeskind is recognized for creating buildings that resonate far beyond their physical form. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that architecture is infused with human energy and that buildings embody and communicate the cultural context in which they exist. Drawing on his deep engagement with philosophy, literature, art, and music, Libeskind expands the scope of architecture into a multidisciplinary reflection on human experience. In this keynote, he will reflect on how memory, history, and culture shape the built environment. Highlighting projects such as the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Military History Museum in Dresden, and social housing in Brooklyn, Libeskind will explore architecture as both a vessel of memory and a foundation for resilience.
