Dreaming of an architectural ideal

American architect Daniel Libeskind has high standards for architecture. In his talk at TED earlier this year (and just released on the web), he talks about the traits he wants to see in buildings today: optimism vs pessimism, raw vs refined, emotional vs cool, etc.

It should be noted that Libeskind is first and foremost an architectural theorist; he completed his first building at the age of 52.
