Design that is different in its elements, not just restyled or reinvented, arises from an almost chemical reaction that takes place when a person meets a material, a practice or a technology and sees...

In architecture, the old world is dead. And with the exception of Gehry, there's no more powerful emblem of that change than Libeskind, 57, who was thrust into fame three years ago with his first building. In the late 1980s, when he won a competition to design the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Libeskind's name was known only to people who followed architectural theory. Though...
