Hey, speaking of Daniel Libeskind, Curbed SF has an in-depth reveal of the starchitect's Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, carved out of an old power substation. And how's this for high-brow? Libeskind's design was "inspired by the Hebrew phrase 'L'Chiam,' (To Life), and based his design on the two symbolic Hebrew letters of 'chai'— the 'chet' and 'yud.'" Yeah, but is it 1,776-feet-tall? Huh? IS IT?! [Curbed SF]
