Background information on the NAi exhibition "Daniel Libeskind - Beyond The Wall": On 5 September 1997 an exhibition of work by Daniel
Libeskind will open in the Main Room of the Netherlands Architecture Institute
(NAI). The work to be exhibited is composed of architectural models and
drawings of his studio, as well as objects and material that have had a
great effect on the work and philosophy of Libeskind. The exhibition space
has been designed by Libeskind together with Cecil Balmond of the engineering
firm Ove Arup & Partners. The design of the planes and walls of the
exhibition proposal transforms and alters the original exhibition hall
as the public knows it - a new understanding of the future. The exhibition will be held in the Main Room of the NAI
and it makes use of the 8,100 m3 of exhibition space.Its design is based on a spiral-form labyrinth
of inclined and angled walls and planes, and was inspired by the design
for the extension to the Victoria & Albert Museum. The tallest wall
of the steel structure extends from a height of 9 metres to 2,5 metres
at its lowest. The design development and construction drawings were once
again a profound collaboration with the renowned engineering firm of Ove
Arup & Partners. A structure of steel U and C profiles from Hoogovens
Starframe is faced with steel sheets in which vitrines are recessed. In
these vitrines and in the labyrinth a large number of models and drawings
of Studio Libeskind will be exhibited, as well as objects and material
that have influenced Libeskind's work. Both the construction and the exhibits will be illuminated
with a lighting design by Zum Tobel Staff. Many companies have reacted enthusiastically to the announcement
of the Daniel Libeskind exhibition and are supplying materials as well
as ideas on the production of the installation. The NAI is supported by
Hoogovens Steel and Hoogovens Starframe who are providing the steel sheets
and frames and are actively involved in construction of the installation.
Other enthusiastic sponsors contributing materials and ideas are: Cultuurfonds
Bouwfonds Nederlandse Gemeenten, Zum Tobel Staff, MAB Groep, Adolf Würth,
Dura Bouwgroep, Volker Stevin Ontwikkelingsmaatschappij, Hoogovens Steel
Strip Mill Products, Bruynzeel Multipanel, VNC, IBC Vastgoed, Leebo Bouwsystemen, Eerste Nederlandse Cement Industrie (ENCI) and OOO Internet Services.
