Daniel Libeskind: Countersign

This is a study of Daniel Libeskind's ideas and work. It discusses his design and his initial concepts and why he believes 'architecture is a cultural science based on living, history and tradition, not a technology or a theory'. Particular attention is paid to the significance of the iconic Jewish Museum in Berlin and through it a wider examination of his architectural philosophy is discussed, including its source and its evolution. The narrative also explores the way in which his architecture reflects a history and a continuing 'story'. This book offers a rare insight into the mind and the architecture of an exceptional architect.
