Breaking Ground: Adventures in Life and Architecture by Daniel Libeskind


Breaking Ground: Adventures in Life and Architecture
Daniel Libeskind
2004, John Murray, London
0719566541
288p.

Daniel Libeskind is the architect who has conceived the master plan for the World Trade Center reconstruction. This book is a memoir of his life and his thoughts on architecture and the meanings of buildings.

This book is written as if Libeskind has sat down before you and is retelling the story of his life. He recounts parts of his life with no real chronology, but this by no means makes the book disjointed. Rather, it draws the reader into his life, and into his way of thinking. A very enjoyable book.
