A look into how world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind perfects his craft


From designing the Jewish Museum in Berlin, to planning the Haeundae I Park Marina in Busan, Daniel Libeskind has left his mark across the globe through his striking architecture. But what are the inspirations behind these iconic buildings? Paul Keskeys of Architizer takes a look into how the world-renowned deconstructivist perfects his craft through emotive sketches:

"So the story goes, Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind was eating dinner in a restaurant when he sketched a design for the Royal Ontario Museum on a paper napkin. This impromptu burst of creativity culminated in the iconic Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, and the sketch in question is characteristic of Libeskind's lose, expressive style at the initial stages of a project. 
Using any medium available to him at the time, Libeskind's first design drawings are less about a building's physical form and more about the story he is aiming to tell: the poetic narrative expressed through line and shade is key to the architect's process, and it has resulted in many of his most iconic works to date."

Hand-Painted Bags That Tell Your Story

  Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness.  Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.
