| Summary: | One of the most commonly used resources as a project strategy in contemporary architecture is allegory, understood in terms of “speaking about the other.” Allegory transforms what one feels or experiences, in architecture by embodying and reviving the memory of certain events. Along these lines, this article tackles analysis of one work by Daniel Libeskind, which is an example of using allegorical language in architecture and its embodiment through diagrams, caligrams, pentagrams, collages, drawings and models, creating a multidisciplinary process. That is a project that has recreated traumatic events for humanity through allegory, such as the Holocaust, in a process that forces feelings and allusions to emerge. This concept of “speaking about the other” has been intentionally narrated in the representations used in Libeskind’s ideation process. |
