After six years of construction, a
prolonged debate about administrative
control and numerous delays, Berlin's
Jewish Museum recently was dedicat-
ed. Currently, visitors are able to tour
the exhibit-free building on weekends.
The unusual zigzag-shaped structure
— designed by Polish Israeli architect
Daniel Libeskind — has been praised
as an architectural masterpiece.
Liebeskind, an influential figure in
architectural and urban design, is
known for introducing a new critical
discourse into architecture and for his
multidisciplinary approach.
Combining powerful visual ele-
ments with music and text, the muse-
urn has already become an icon of a
Jewish presence, and absence, in con-
temporary Berlin.
The Jewish architect will share his
thoughts on the new museum and
other recent projects 6 p.m. Monday,
April 12, at the Chicago Architecture
Foundation. The program is co-spon-
sored by Chicago's Spertus Institute
for Jewish Studies.
Born in post-war Poland in 1946,
Libeskind became an American citizen
in 1965. He studied music in Israel
and New York, received an architec-
tural degree from Cooper Union in
New York and received a post-gradu-
ate degree in history and theory of

architecture from the University of
Essex in England.
He has taught at universities in
North America, Europe and Japan and
was head of the department of archi-
tecture at Cranbrook Academy of Art
in Bloomfield Hills from 1978-1985.
The Jewish Museum's shape is
based on a Star of David that is inter-
sected by a straight line. Libeskind has
dubbed the project "Between the
Lines" because of the two main lines
in the building. "One is a straight
line, but broken into many fragments;
the other is a tortuous line but contin-

Architect Daniel Libeskind, former
head of the department of architecture
at Cranbrook Academy of Art, designed
the Jewish Museum in Berlin.
