Libeskind's German Military Museum

Jewish architect Daniel Libeskind punctures a 135-year-old original structure with a five-story wedge of glass, concrete and steel.

 “It was not my intention to preserve the museum’s facade and just add an invisible extension in the back. I wanted to create a bold interruption, a fundamental dislocation, to penetrate the historic arsenal and create a new experience. The architecture will engage the public in the deepest issue of how organized violence and how military history and the fate of the city are intertwined.”—Daniel Libeskind
