Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 288 pages. Published in 2004. The author/architect's ground-breaking memoir. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Chip Kidd: Regular-sized volume format. Glossy pictorial hard boards with titles on cover and spine, as issued. Text and original designs by Daniel Libeskind. Photographs by various contributors. In half-sized pictorial DJ, which shows the architect's stunning design for the new World Trade Center, as issued. Presents Daniel Libeskind's "Breaking Ground: Adventures In Life And Architecture". His engrossing - and moving - account, published to considerable critical acclaim. It also elicited controversy because the selection of Daniel Libeskind's visionary design for the ultimate symbol of American power was a departure from public and official expectations: Libeskind envisioned an almost radically different World Trade Center, which sprawls meanderingly and gently across the harbor's expanse, a place of contemplation and peace, rather than rises up the skies, as the fallen Twin Towers did. As great as they were, they were blatant and phallic (there is no escaping the word) symbols of power. Even though he also preserved the Twin Towers's iconic elements, in a heartfelt gesture to their tragic end, he encountered fierce resistance from powerful forces in America who wanted something more "heroic" - and grander than ever before. Libeskind's account of the clashes and quarrels he had with bureaucrats, officials, fellow architects, the media, and businessmen is absorbing, compelling, and reads like an unputdownable novel. The portrait of site developer Larry Silverstein is particularly scathing. The World Trade Center made Libeskind a household name in a way that most architects could only dream about: If Frank Gehry is the architect as epic artist, Rem Koolhaas, the intellectual-thinker, and Richard Meier, the mystic artist, Daniel Libeskind is surely the architect as postmodern poet. "A great building, like great literature or poetry or music, can tell the story of the human soul" (Daniel Libeskind). An absolute "must-have" title for Daniel Libeskind collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Daniel Libeskind. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with 32 pages of photographs and drawings of Libeskind's works-in-progress, completed projects, and the original design for the New World Trade Center. One of the most brilliant creative minds of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 1573222925. Signed by Author.
