    BACKGROUND BRIEF

    Ø Libeskind first studied music at the  Łódź Conservatory, and  he moved to New York
    City on a music scholarship.
    Ø  Changing his artistic aims after arriving, he began  to study architecture under John
    Hejduk and Peter Eisenman at Cooper Union, receiving a  master ’s degree in
    the history and theory of architecture from the University of  Essex, England (1972).
    Ø In 1989, Mr. Libeskind won the international competition to  build the Jewish Museum in
    Berlin. 
    Ø  A series of influential museum commissions followed,  including the Felix Nussbaum
    Haus, Osnabrück; Imperial War  Museum North, Manchester; Denver Art
    Museum; Contemporary Jewish Museum,  San Francisco; Danish Jewish  Museum,
    Copenhagen; Royal Ontario  Museum, Toronto; and  the Military History Museum,
    Dresden.
    Ø In 2003, Studio Libeskind won another historic competition—to  create a master plan for
    the rebuilding of the World Trade  Center in Lower Manhattan.
    DECONSTRUCTIVISM
    Deconstructivism is a movement of 
    postmodern architecture which appeared in the
    1980s. It gives the impression of the fragmentation
    of the constructed building, commonly
    characterized by an absence of obvious harmony,
    continuity, or symmetry
