Something wrong?He won the competition to reimagine Ground Zero, then built a Jewish museum in Berlin that tourists walk through in silence. Angular geometry that refuses comfort.

Born May 12, 1946, Libeskind founded Studio Daniel Libeskind with his wife Nina in 1989. The Jewish Museum in Berlin opened in 2001 and made his reputation: a building that turns memory into form. Two years later he won the master plan competition for the World Trade Center site reconstruction in Lower Manhattan. His portfolio grew to include the Denver Art Museum extension, the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the Imperial War Museum North in Greater Manchester, the Grand Canal Theatre in Dublin, and museums in Osnabrück, Copenhagen, and Singapore. His work has shown at the Museum of Modern Art, the Bauhaus Archives, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Centre Pompidou. He remains principal design architect of the studio he started with Nina more than three decades ago.
