![Page 3: Daniel lebiskind](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042817/55a2ff871a28ab094d8b4580/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Lot of architectural students (especially thepretentious ones), confuse the words‘philosophy’, ‘theory’ and ‘speculation’. For theGreeks, ‘philosophy’, was the “love ofknowledge’ and the result of an inquiry intouniversal truths. ‘Theory’ is the result of aninquiry of specific facts leading to the test of theresultant supposition. What most pretentiousarchitects (Daniel Libeskind is a good example),engage in is the more dubious practice of‘speculation’, as in - “Hey, I wonder what wouldhappen if I made a building look like a crystalrock formation?” Clearly this is often a verydumb approach to design, so they use big wordsto describe their speculations as either“theories’ or “philosophies’ to make them sound
better than they are.
As my aim is not to critique or appraise whatDaniel stands for but to discuss and analysewhat are the ideas behind his designs .
While doing research I came across manynegative articles about the work which hehas done, and somehow I was evenconvinced with the facts these articlesclaimed ,but at the very same moment itcame to if he is being critiqued ,then theremust be something which he did is great.
Finally ,I can only say that the projects whichare too powerful in terms of their philosophy,overpower the ideas and theories of theperson who designed it, be it and hencebecome the brand name od the designer.
