Description
"Part memoir and part reflection on architecture and its relationship to who we are, Breaking Ground introduces David Libeskind iconic approach to public space. And in prose that sparkles with wit and erudition, Libeskind shows how his singular life experience has informed his ideas for the largest and most important architectural commission of the twenty-first century: the master plan for the World Trade Center site."--BOOK JACKET.
