A Conversation with Daniel Libeskind
Wednesday, June 18
7:00 p.m.

Chelsea School and Sixth & I present this conversation with architect Daniel Libeskind. Libeskind will discuss his uncommon background and global perspective while exploring both ideas about tragedy and hope, and the way in which architecture can memorialize — and reshape — human experience. Many of the inquiries and principles explored will radiate from his book, Breaking Ground, which invites the reader to see architecture — and the larger world — through a new perspective. Following the conversation, which includes an open forum for question and answers, there will be a book signing.

Daniel Libeskind is an American architect who has designed many prominent and celebrated buildings, including the Jewish Museum in Berlin, the Denver Art Museum, the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester, the Jewish Museum in Copenhagen, the Wohl Centre at the Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv as well as many more commercial and residential projects around the world. In 2003, Libeskind won the competition for the master plan to rebuild the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan.
