Daniel Libeskind, 73, is the owner and principal design architect of New York-based Studio Daniel Libeskind. His prestigious architectural credits include the Jewish Museum in Berlin; the Grand Canal Theatre in Dublin; the Imperial War Museum in Manchester, England; and the Danish Jewish Museum in Copenhagen. In 2003, he was named the master plan architect for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center site.
Quotes: “Life it is not just a series of calculations and a sum total of statistics, it’s about experience, it’s about participation, it is something more complex and more interesting than what is obvious.” | “And you have to remember that I came to America as an immigrant. You know, on a ship, through the Statue of Liberty. And I saw that skyline, not just as a representation of steel and concrete and glass, but as really the substance of the American Dream.”
