A stunning tour of the work of internationally known architect Daniel Libeskind and an investigation of a master artist's creative process.
Daniel Libeskind is the founder and principal of Studio Daniel Libeskind, founded in Berlin in 1989, now in New York City. He is an international figure in architectural practice and urban design, with more than 40 projects worldwide, including major cultural institutions, universities, hotels, commercial centers, and residential work. Born in L dz, Poland, in 1946, Libeskind was a virtuoso musician before studying architecture. He has taught and lectured at universities all over the globe, received numerous awards, and designed world-renowned projects, including the master plan for the World Trade Center in New York and the Jewish Museum Berlin.
"Bold, inspiring and emotional (much like Libeskind’s angular
buildings)—a page turner of career highlights, inside knowledge,
geometric designs, and personal stories (some heart breaking, all
riveting). Libeskind candidly discusses his poignant works through
entertaining personal snapshots—a zoom lens focused on his
influences (music, poetry, liberal arts, Greek mythology and pop
culture included). He says every project must have that “Eureka
moment” from which creativity is conceived. —Forbes
“With gusto, an exuberant architect considers his life and
work.…Revealing, accessible, and luscious.” —Kirkus
