Counterpoint

Daniel Libeskind in conversation with Paul Goldberger.

Edición de la obra Counterpoint

Architect Daniel Libeskind, known for his dynamic, fractured compositions, is also recognized for introducing a new critical discourse to architecture. In an enormous variety of projects around the world - major cultural institutions, convention centers, universities, hotels, commercial centers, and residential work - he has manifested his commitment to expanding the horizons of architecture and urbanism. Counterpoint: Daniel Libeskind is the first comprehensive portrait of the work of Studio Daniel Libeskind, which was established in Berlin in 1989 and moved to New York in 2003 after winning the World Trade Center design competition. Drawn from a series of interviews with celebrated architecture critic Paul Goldberger, Counterpoint exemplifies Libeskind's multidisciplinary approach, which reflects a profound interest in philosophy, art, music, literature, theater, and film. Featured projects include the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Felix-Nussbaum-Haus in Osnabrück, the recently completed Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the extension to the Denver Art Museum, the MGM Mirage CityCenter in Las Vegas, a multi-building complex in Busan, South Korea, and the Danish Jewish Museum in Copenhagen.
