Daniel Libeskind

by Daniel Libeskind

Daniel Libeskind designed the Felix-Nussbaum Haus as an extension to Osnabruck's Museum of Art History. This building, dedicated to the memory of the painter Felix Nussbaum (born 1904 in Osnabruck, died 1944 in Auschwitz), was the architect's first completed project. Here, the director of the Osnabruck museum describes the building in detail, highlighting the key features of Libeskind's "deconstructivist" style, as it has been termed. He also investigates the correlations between the building's architecture and the paintings of Nussbaum.
