jewish museum

• commemorative architecture

  • enter via the Kollenghaus - used by the 3rd reich
  • exterior made from zinc - fade over time = jews have to blend back into society - parents were polish jews
  • windows = jagged - used a map of Berlin, connect jewish places of significance
  • 3 interior paths - death, exile and continuity
  • continuity - gallery space - exhibition with faces on floor - mouths open = terror of war
  • stand on, clanging noise = jarring sounds of war
  • void in centre = embodies absense
