An international figure in architectural practice and urban design, Daniel Libeskind is known for introducing a new critical discourse in architecture and for his multidisciplinary approach. His practice extends from major cultural and commercial institutions – including museums and concert halls – to housing, hotels and shopping centres. He is responsible for the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal at the Royal Ontario Museum; the Jewish Museum in Berlin; the Denver Art Museum in the US, and the Imperial War Museum North in Greater Manchester,
England. The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco he designed opened this year. In 2003, he won the competition to rebuild on the World Trade Center site in New York, now under construction. Studio Daniel Libeskind, headquartered two blocks south of the World
Trade Center site, is currently working on over 40 projects around the world.
