National Arts Club

Instead of a typical “thank you” speech, Libeskind engaged in a lively conversation with architect Anna Klingmann. Q: What is your favorite project? A: That’s like choosing your favorite child — the next one will be perfect! Q: Any advice for your architects? A: You have to take risks and be ready to fail.
