dezeen (unofficial)Short film offers tour of Dutch Holocaust Memorial of Names by Studio Libeskind
This video guides viewers around a memorial by Studio Libeskind in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which is dedicated to the Dutch victims of the Holocaust.
The Dutch Holocaust Memorial of Names was designed by Studio Libeskind with local office Rijnboutt to honour the 102,000 Jews, Sinti and Roma people who were killed by Nazis during the second world war.
It is characterised by a labyrinth of brick walls inscribed with the names of these victims, giving the monument its title. However, there are also 1,000 blank bricks to honour those who remain unknown.
Crowning the brick walls are a group of angular mirrored volumes, modelled by Studio Libeskind on four Hebrew letters.
In the video, these mirrored elements can be viewed together from above, where they spell out the Hebrew word for "in memory of".

Studio Libeskind completes angular Holocaust memorial in Amsterdam
A labyrinth of brick walls and angular mirrors define the Dutch Holocaust Memorial of Names, which Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind's studio has completed in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Located on Weesperstraat street close to the Jewish Cultural Quarter, the memorial was realised by Studio Libeskind with local studio Rijnboutt to commemorate 102,000 Dutch victims of the Holocaust.

The victims, who were largely Jews, Sinti and Roma people, were killed by the Nazis during the second world war and have no known graves.
To honour each of these victims individually, the walls of the memorial are constructed from 102,000 bricks that are inscribed with the names of the victims – giving the project its title.
Alongside these bricks, 1,000 extra bricks were left blank to memorialise those who remain unknown.

The bricks are arranged in a series of two-metre-high walls across the site, which are crowned by four mirrored stainless steel volumes.
Studio Libeskind's arrangement of the brick walls gives rise to a dynamic labyrinth of passages across the site for visitors to explore.

The mirrored volumes were designed by Studio Libeskind to emulate four Hebrew letters, which form a word that translates as "in memory of" when viewed together from above.
They are also designed to appear as though they are floating above the walls, which the studio said represents "an interruption in the history and culture of the Dutch people".

The combination of brick and stainless steel at the memorial is also symbolic.
"Brick, a ubiquitous building material in the Netherlands and cities of Western Europe, paired with the highly reflective and geometric forms of the steel letters reference the connection between Amsterdam's past and present," Studio Libeskind said.
The walls are crowned by mirrored volumes
Woven around the brick walls are crushed stones, trees and monolithic seating that complement the geometric angles of the memorial, while the border of the site is lined with hedges and bronze-coloured panels.
The Dutch Holocaust Memorial of Names was commissioned by the Nederlands Auschwitz Comité and officially inaugurated on 19 September 2021.
The mirrors appear to hover above the walls
Studio Libeskind was founded by Libeskind with his partner Nina Libeskind in Berlin in 1989. Elsewhere, the studio has designed Holocaust memorials in the United States and Canada.
It has also designed several Jewish museums, including the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Danish Jewish Museum in Copenhagen and San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum. It is currently also designing one in Lisbon.
Bronze-coloured walls line the edges
Dezeen recently spoke to Libeskind as part of its 9/11 anniversary series to explain his experience of working on the Ground Zero masterplan.
The architect said that "everything changed in architecture" after the tragedy and that it "gave people a sense that architecture is important".

Studio Libeskind designs geometric Jewish Museum for Lisbon
Tilted walls covered in blue ceramic tiles will break up the white geometric exterior of Tikva, a Jewish museum that New York office Studio Libeskind is designing in the district of Belém in Lisbon.
The 3,869-square-metre museum is being developed by Daniel Libeskind's firm with local architect Miguel Saraiva for a site in the Portuguese capital that looks onto the 16th-century Tower of Belém and Tagus river.

Tikva Jewish Museum Lisbon will feature exhibition spaces that "tell the yet untold story of the Jews in Portugal, their culture and history," according to Studio Libeskind.
"At the same time it is to be a project that looks forward, celebrating religious tolerance and cultural difference," the office told Dezeen.
The segments are divided by slanted walls covered in blue ceramics
Tikva's design is intended to "echo the scale of the historic city" and will be divided into five adjoining segments.
The idea of creating five interlocking volumes derives from the number of letters in the museum's name, Tikva, which means hope in Hebrew.
White plaster will cover the exterior
The museum's individual segments will be defined by the tilted walls that cut through the building's white plaster exterior. The material was chosen as a nod to local vernacular.
All of the slanted walls will be covered in azulejos, a traditional type of Portuguese ceramic tile, both internally and externally.
Inside, the museum will contain a mix of permanent and temporary exhibition spaces arranged in a continuous sequence, alongside an auditorium, research and educational facilities.
The roof of each segment will be positioned at different heights. They will be lined with greenery or photovoltaic panels, or used for a rooftop restaurant terrace.
The blue ceramic tiles will continue inside
Tikva has been commissioned by The Lisbon City Hall and Haggadah Association, which will oversee its installation and management.
The proposal is one of several Jewish museums completed by Studio Libeskind since its founding in 1989. Others include the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Danish Jewish Museum in Copenhagen and San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum.
A roof terrace will look onto the Tower of Belém
Studio Libeskind has also designed Holocaust memorials for the Netherlands, the United States and Canada. The Canadian National Holocaust Monument is formed from tall concrete walls that resemble the Star of David.
Other recent proposals by the studio include Ngaren: The Museum of Humankind in Kenya's Rift Valley and an angular archeology museum for northern Chile.
