The project, called Tikvah (Hebrew for \u201chope\u201d),consists of a 41,645-square-foot structure created in collaboration with local architect Miguel Saraiva. It is to be built in Lisbon\u2019s Bel\u00e9m area, southwest of the city center and marked by the 16th-century Tower of Bel\u00e9m along the Tagus River.<\/p>\n<p>Renderings reveal a white, geometric structure broken up by glass portions that scale the height of the building, which is to be topped with a grassy roof and a walkway, framing the four-story tower in the distance with its wall-mounted turrets. Inside, the strong lines of the exteriors are further revealed, with white walls interspersed with blue portions.<\/p>\n<p>The museum is to be built on a plot across the street from the riverfront, with a series of outdoor steps leading up to a generous patio and entrance. Renderings show white lines \u00a0that are to extend out from the base of the structure, across the grounds, to highlight the building\u2019s geometric construction.<\/p>\n<p>It was first announced that Libeskind would design the Jewish Museum\u2014a collaboration between Lisbon City Hall (CML) and non-profit organization Association Hagad\u00e1\u2014in December 2020. Originally meant to be built in Lisbon\u2019s oldest neighborhood, Alfama, the museum is a 20-year effort, after a failed attempt in 2016. But in 2019 the municipality granted Association Hagad\u00e1 a 50-year renewable lease on a plot in Bel\u00e9m with a license to build a museum, for which it selected New York-based Jewish architect Daniel Libeskind for the project. He has designed a number of similar museums, including the Jewish Museum Berlin, San Francisco\u2019s Contemporary Jewish Museum and Copenhagen\u2019s Danish Jewish Museum, as well as Holocaust memorials in the Netherlands and Canada, which completed in 2018 in Ottawa. Many, like the Lisbon design, also feature angled walls.<\/p>\n<p>The establishment of a Jewish Museum in Lisbon is aimed to promote Portuguese Jewish life and its contribution to the history of Lisbon and beyond. Lisbon\u2019s Jewish community in particular originated in the early 1800s, 300 years after the Edict of Expulsion and almost a century after the Inquisition, with Sephardic Jews mainly from Gibraltar and Morocco settling there as a colony and many finding work as tradesmen. \u201cThe museum will tell a unique story of almost two thousand years of longevity and plurality of cultures that give Portuguese Judaism a peculiar and very rich character,\u201d said President of the Haggadah Association Esther Mucznik in a press release. \u201cIt is this history and this memory that the museum, with its bold and innovative project, will make known to the national and foreign public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the project in Lisbon, Studio Libeskind was also recently commissioned to create an architecture center in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland, where the architect grew up before moving to Israel and then New York.. The building, along with several other commissions by the architect, is part of a city-wide initiative called Nexus21 which is meant to reinvigorate areas of the city. Libeskind established his studio in Berlin with wife and business partner Nina in 1989, following the city\u2019s Jewish Museum commission, and later relocated to New York City in 2003 after being selected as the master planner for the redevelopment of World Trade Center.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"font-size:20px;letter-spacing:1px;font-family:&quot;Spectral SC&quot;;font-weight:500;\"><p>bridget cogley<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:15px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\" style=\"font-size:18px;color:rgba(45,129,177,0.99);font-family:&quot;Josefin Sans&quot;;\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.architecturalrecord.com\/articles\/15102-studio-libeskind-unveils-jewish-museum-in-lisbon?oly_enc_id=8108E6411878A4C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&gt; Ver artigo na fonte<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:60% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0 !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 0;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 0;}@media only screen and (max-width:1200px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:60% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 0;margin-left : 0;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 20px;margin-left : 20px;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 21px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slanting white walls intersected by blue forms mark the exterior of a 2.5-story building designed by Studio Libeskind, led by Daniel Libeksind, for Lisbon\u2019s upcoming Jewish Museum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[218],"tags":[238],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.1.1 -
