Upon his move to New York, Studio Libeskind quickly became involved with designing and realizing a large number of commercial centers, such as Westside in Bern, the Crystals at City Center in Las Vegas, and Ko-Bogen in Düsseldorf, as well as residential towers in Busan, Singapore, Warsaw, Toronto, and Sao Paulo. In September 2018 David Gill Gallery hosted Daniel Libeskind’s first solo exhibition at the Gallery: ‘Fundamental Elements’.

The Studio has completed buildings that range from museums and concert halls to convention centers, university buildings, hotels, shopping centers and residential towers. As Principal Design Architect for Studio Libeskind, he speaks widely on the art of architecture in universities and professional summits.
