BIOGRAPHY
Daniel Libeskind is an international figure in architecture and urban design, known for his multi-disciplinary approach. His most high profile project is the World Trade Center site in New York.
Libeskind's plan was chosen in an historic competition, after a great deal of public consultation. A 'Freedom Tower' symbolically rising to 1,776 feet echoes the date of the Declaration of Independence, while an off-centre spire conjures up the Statue of Liberty. The challenge was to strike a balance between memorial and functionality.
The social environment is as important to Libeskind's designs as form and function. He talks passionately about the excitement, adventure and mystery of architecture, and the impact it has on the future development of cities and culture.
