Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, California, USA, 2008 designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind
The CJM’s design is based on the Hebrew expression “L’Chaim,” which means “To Life.” Following the Jewish tradition, according to which letters are not mere signs, but substantial participants in the story they create, the two Hebrew letters of the chai — chet and yud — with all their symbolic, mathematical, and emblematic nuance, determined the form of the new museum. -- architect's web site

The classical and consolidate residential functions can be found in a “box” which does not refuse the archetype of the parallelepiped volume, but even in the tension of the planning search it “lives” and rotates along a parallel axle to the ground almost lifting from earth the look of its more representative face. -- ArchDaily

The modern design of the Glass Hall contrasts with the historic building of the Central Station. The modern architecture efficiently caters for the increasing flow of people travelling. The façade of the “Glass Hall” is suspended in a wire system supported by a steel structure that acts like a modern version of the old railway hall. Inside the Glass Hall there is a fast food restaurant, a newspaper store, an exchange office and a café. The new glass façade opens up toward the historic railway hall and exposes it for the travelers for the first time in the station’s history. -- World Architecture Directory
