"Asked about how he will keep his overall design concept intact, given the number of public agencies and private entities involved, he said, 'Architecture is about negotiations.'Libeskind's appearance clearly was the convention's biggest draw. About 20,000 architects and architecture students – a record number for an AIA convention – attended the three-day gathering at the San Diego Convention Center. "
