Daniel Libeskind is a brilliant architect. But he has one other skill that is almost as developed. He’s a salesman. “Sales is the right word, because we live in the marketplace, not only in terms of selling and buying but in the marketplace of ideas. It’s a democratic city, democratic country, and that’s how civic projects get developed. They’re certainly not going to be done in an ivory tower somewhere – take it or leave it. Either you interact and communicate what you’re doing or you’re really cynical and should not be involved in civic art.”
