Over the past few months I kept coming across Libeskind's "Breaking Ground," his autobiography/personal story about the WTC Master Planning, at my local bookstore.
I never bought it, figuring it most likely would be a saccharine-lite book, written mainly for the non-architects and also for PR purposes.
Well, I bought it at a used book store over the weekend for a few bucks. So I started reading.
And, as I have delved into the book, I have found my pre-conceived notions correct . . . .but I did not think that Libeskind would dump on so many architects.
So far (I am only 1/4 of the way through the book), he has taken shots at Eisenman, Meier, Roger Duffy, David Childs, SOM, Fred Schwartz, Herbert Muschamp, among others.
Believe it or not, I can't wait to continue reading tonight . . .
