Moshe Safdie has been called one of the greatest and most inventive architects of our time. Some of his best-known projects include the Habitat'67 modular housing complex in Montreal, the Yad Vashem memorial in Israel, the Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas, the Marina Bay Sands development, and the inner garden at Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore. In 2019, he received the Wolf Prize - considered, along with the Nobel Prize, one of the most prestigious prizes awarded to individuals - for "an activity in architecture motivated by concern for society and formal experimentation." His unique autobiography opens the veil on the underside of this necessary, challenging and very creative profession and explains with examples how an architect thinks and works. About life, about himself and his family, about the difficulties of work, about the purpose of architecture... Moshe Safdie shares his most intimate experiences, the path of trials, errors, insights and upsurges that led him to the realization of his mission - to serve people and to the top of world fame. The author illustrated his sincere and comprehensive story with unique photographs, drawings, sketches, documents from his extensive work and family archives and shared with us the ideas of projects that have not yet found their realization, but our reader will be among the first to see their birth.
"Through nature, the nature of the universe and the nature of man, we will seek the truth. If we seek truth, we will find beauty." (Moshe Safdie)
