JEWISH MUSEUM, KREUZBERG BERLIN,GERMANY










Jewish Museum, Kreuzberg Berlin,Germany
By Daniel Libeskind 1998, the museum opened in 2001. This building looks unusual. The architect based his design on a moderately involved process of 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 also has used the concepts of absence, emptiness, and the invisible to design the building. He expresses the disappearance of Jewish culture in the city. One other detail is the window shape, which looks different and he zig-zagging zinc surface from the siding which remembers strangely containers.
