This bold structure, which looks like three pieces of a shattered globe, is the first completed building in Britain designed by Libeskind, whose recent works include Berlin's widely acclaimed Jewish Museum. Says Leese, a local politician who became leader of the council only four weeks before the I.R.A. bombing: "It was very clear as we were putting the city center back together that we needed to build the listed [legally protected] buildings of the future...
