This review is from: Daniel Libeskind: Fishing From The Pavement (Hardcover)
If there is a more ridiculous or more pretentious book or architect alive today, I challenge anyone, anywhere to show them to me. It is a truism that whereas genius has its limits, stupidity knows know boundaries. - QED "Fishing From The Pavement".

The following image represents my thoughts on this book.
I found this book overly pretentious and more than anything when reading it, it made me question the role of the architect and public perception of architecture. This book illustrates a huge divide in the lofty thoughts of a revered member of the architecture profession and the sort of architecture that the public are interested in and generally exposed to.
