B: AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE


Daniel Libeskind
The Jewish Museum Berlin
"Between The Lines"

Completed in 1999, the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany serves as an exhibit showcasing the social, political and cultural history of the Jews in Germany from the 4th century to the present. It is designed by American architect Daniel Libeskind of Polish-Jewish decent. His works have often been described as deconstructivist and the Jewish Museum Berlin was Libeskind's first major international success, being one of the first buildings designed after reunification. It is a project about two lines of thinking, organization and relationship. One is a straight line, but broken into many fragments; the other is a tortuous line, but continuing indefinitely.
