The Jewish Museum in Berlin, designed by Daniel Libeskind, employs synesthesia to create an architectural experience that evokes disorientation, loss, and memory. Utilizing fragmented geometry, contrasting light, and raw materials like concrete, the museum creates an oppressive atmosphere that connects visitors to the pain of the Holocaust. The design features slanted corridors and auditory elements, such as the Shalekhet space with metal plates that mimic unsettling sounds. This immersive approach illustrates the importance of engaging multiple senses in architecture, resonating with Juhani Pallasmaa's call for a more sensory-rich experience.
The museum transcends its function as an exhibition space and becomes an immersive architectural experience, where light, sound, texture, and form combine to convey the pain and memory of the Holocaust.
The choice of materials directly influences how spaces are perceived. A room clad in wood conveys warmth, while cold concrete evokes feelings of detachment and oppression.
