Case Study: Daniel Libeskind AG achieves an award-winning Westside mixed-use destination with VectorWorks

Daniel Libeskind AG - Customer Case Study

Architekt Daniel Libeskind AG (ADL), led by world‑renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, faced the challenge of turning bold, highly expressive concepts into buildable, mixed‑use developments—projects like the Westside Shopping and Leisure Center in Bern‑Brünnen and the Grand Canal Square cultural complex in Dublin. These schemes demanded tight coordination of diverse program elements (retail, housing, transport, leisure), seamless integration with their urban contexts, and precise construction documentation across international teams.

ADL met the challenge by pairing Libeskind’s initial ink sketches with digital BIM and 3D workflows—using Vectorworks Architect, workgroup referencing, and laser‑cut physical models—to produce detailed construction drawings and reliable data exchange between partners. The results speak for themselves: Westside became a major destination (15,000–20,000 daily visitors; 1.5 million in the first three months), won multiple industry awards, and the Dublin scheme likewise received top honors—while the studio achieved efficient, collaborative processes that realized Libeskind’s ambitious vision.
