Edge of Order / DANIEL LIBESKIND Monday, November 12th, 6pm

EMPAC Theater

Admission is Free Rensselaer School of Architecture closes its Fall 2018 Lecture Series this Monday November 12th, 6 pm at EMPAC, with the lecture "Edge of Order" by acclaimed architect Daniel Libeskind . Daniel Libeskind is one of the foremost architects of our time, a self-proclaimed rebel celebrated for innovative, site-conscious designs, including the Jewish Museum Berlin and New York’s World Trade Center Redevelopment. He has also emerged as one of architecture’s most visible public ambassadors. In Edge of Order, Libeskind speaks on a compilation of selected projects never before collected–both built and unrealized, major commissions and unexpected favorites–and revealing how he arrived at their designs through text and a rich array of visuals, including drawings, plans, and photographs. With a voracious appetite for culture and history, and an encyclopedic memory, Libeskind draws on everything from Greek mythology to Emily Dickinson to the Marx Brothers to explain the way he thinks about buildings and cities. Far more than a monograph, Edge of Order is both an essential document of Libeskind’s remarkable career and an intimate portrait of an artist that will encourage creative people in any field to discover new points of inspiration. www.libeskind.com ///
