Daniel Libeskind is the architect of the Jewish Museum in Berlin. The space is designed to be very experiential. For me the space conjured up certain feelings within me and brought me closer to those it memorialized. The building takes and disorients, creating a sense of hysteria within each and every person. The concrete material used on the interior is perfect for creating an oppressed and cold environment. Light is brought into the building through controlled placement of slits, enhancing the power of light to our senses. The details are clean and precise, and the purity of the space is enough to explain the story emotionally. I have a new found respect for Libeskind.
