The Wings

Daniel Libeskind also designs sculptures. One of them is 'The Wings' - four giant aluminium sculptures with LED technology. They are situated the four corners of the Piazza Italia in Milan Expo (opened on 1st May 2015 and closed on October 31, 2015. Expo 2015's theme was "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life") The installations of LED lightning animated the public space with a constant flow of pulsating patterns and imagery.  The sculptures are a combination between dynamic art and technical innovation. Wings have 10 meters high and dynamic form whitch for me looks like huge tree or growing plant. But name of this sculpture tells us that they can remind us wings maybe butterfly’s wings or bird’s wings. This sculpture reminds people about nature around us. http://libeskind.com/work/the-wings/ https://www.archdaily.com/770935/video-the-wings-studio-daniel-libeskind https://www.urdesignmag.com/art/2015/07/14/the-wings-sculptures-by-daniel-libeskind-for-e

Złota 44

Złota 44 is a building in Warsaw desinged by Daniel Libeskind. Its the highest residential building in Europe, it has 287 apartments and 30 luxury units like swimming pool, sauna and gym. It was opened in 2013 after 5 years of working. He says that architecture has to communicate a story. Architecture is in the story of the city, in the story of what the city is, there is also a story of the spirit of the city, you can see that story in the way how the building shapes. Zlota 44 building is more than a big box it is a sculpture, it changes the skyline of the Warsaw. ‘The Polish people don't give up. And it inspired me to build this building here.' Shape of this building is not simply. For me this building means that Warsaw revives, because when we compare Palace of Culture and Science and Zlota 44 we can see this advance and power. In our city aren’t only old blocks of flats and communistic buildings there are also the most modern skyscrapers. www.designboom.com www.
