Dresden Military History Museum by Daniel Libeskind
It has just been announced that the ‘military history museum in dresden’, germany, by studio daniel libeskind has been awarded the 2013 micheletti award - the prestigious european award named after luigi micheletti recognizing innovative museums. the museum is built in the original armory first completed in 1876. In 1897 it was converted into a museum and since then has gone through a series of identities as the saxon armory and museum, the nazi museum, the soviet museum, and the east german museum, until it’s final transformation into the military history museum of a unified german state. The design sought out a blatant interruption of the classical orders that have dictated its function throughout its 137-year lifespan, and a symbolic break from the cultural history that had recently reinvented itself.
