Marcello Mastroiani says:

Libeskind is a mediocre,lover of plagiate ( see new wtc and Looyd Wright’s “mile tower” and others). A cynical poorly gifted marketing created persona sponsorised by more than doubtful people. His always big big money and financially oppaque projects are usually pushed by lobbies. An “architect” that simply do not deserve any public attention and has it only by people with no culture of the past and even less of the present. He should be erased from books.

From the picture it is boring, but sometimes pictures tell a lie. I hope…
