Synopsis
Individuals mourn at gravestones, but societies cope with collective trauma in public spaces and amongst architectural representations of grief. Renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, designer of both the Jewish Museum in Berlin and Ground Zero in Manhattan, uses symbolic architecture to represent painful modern events while inviting its survivors to process cultural pain in plain view. This book explores Libeskind himself as a conduit for cultural pain and his architecture as sites of renewal.
