Code Number:: CEGV04P12_13
Title:: Berlin; Jewish Museum
Lindenstrasse 9-14
10969 Berlin
Germany
Architect: Daniel Libeskind 1998
Inaugurated: 2001
The zinc-panelled Libeskind building is an unusual structure
The symbolic building visualizes German-Jewish history.
The architect's intellectual practice culminate in this building. The design is based on connecting lines between locations of historic events and locations of Jewish culture in Berlin. These lines form a basic outline and structure for the building. Libeskind used the concepts of absence, emptiness, and the invisible, expressions of the disappearance of Jews from the city, to design his building. The concept takes form in a kinked and angled sequence through the building, orchestrated to allow the viewer to see certain empty rooms - without being able to enter them-, which Libeskind terms ?voided voids.? The ideas developed inside the plan of the building repeat themselves on the outer surface of the structure, where windows, voids and perforations form a cosmological composition on an otherwise undifferentiated, zig-zagging zinc surface.
The building stirs emotions in most visitors. The stark meeting of the zinc-paneled exterior and the sky and the sharp incisions of windows are somewhat forbiddingif beautiful.
