How architect Daniel Libeskind won the fierce competition to rebuild Ground Zero.

How architect Daniel Libeskind won the competition to rebuild the most politically charged real estate in the world, Ground Zero.

Daniel Libeskind’s first building was the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Shortly after it was opened he won a fierce competition to rebuild the most valuable and most politically charged piece of real estate in the world: Ground Zero in New York.

It propelled him into the architectural stratosphere and was an experience that changed him utterly. He tells Razia Iqbal and an audience at the Royal Institute of British Architects about the twists and turns in an extraordinary tale.
