more commentsI read that Libeskind’s design for the building leaked for three years and the galleries were so badly designed people hit their heads off tilted walls. So, I ask myself, why would you take the inspiration for the door handle from a building which is itself extremely badly designed?
Sorry Danny Boy, did you say “wow factor”??? This lame effort has absolutely ZERO “wow” factor.
Too severe and totally unappealing. It’s like a bad student work. There is no depth to the form or else there was no real idea behind it.
Libeskind has one gimmicky idea about wedge shaped forms. Unfortunately it is not a very good idea for tactile items like handles. But it is an even worse idea for buildings.
At RISD (Rhode Island School of Design), this would get a FAIL grade as a first year project. It’s just a quick knee-jerk reaction to the shape of the building. There was no attempt to do anything other than scale down the size to that of a doorknob. There was no refinement appropriate to the use or human touch.
This looks like it was designed and detailed in less than three minutes.
