<p>Daniel Libeskind established his studio in Berlin in 1989, after winning the competition to design the Jewish Museum Berlin. Studio Libeskind moved its headquarters to New York City in 2003 to oversee, as master planner, the redevelopment of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan.&nbsp;</p>

                                            
                                            
                                            
                                                 Daniel Libeskind talks about his experiences on September 11th, about designing Memorials and the Master Plan. 
                                            
                                        

<p>For Daniel Libeskind, I wanted to push myself to create the purest iteration of a cocktail I could imagine: a clear, unadorned drink that incorporates all the elements of a full-fledged cocktail. For this, I took vodka and blended it with fresh shiso leaf and pomelo peels. I put that mixture through first a medical centrifuge and then a rotary evaporator, emerging with a powerful tincture that made for a cocktail that looked like a glass half-filled with water, but blew up the senses: no citrus, no sugar, but every element of a cocktail rendered. To garnish, we had Hundredweight Ice make us hand-carved wedges of pure sculptural ice that emerged from the glass like a monolith.</p>
