Concept: Between the lines that’s how Libeskind named his project. It comprise of two lines, one is a straight line, the other is a tortuous line. These two lines were merge together creating a zig-zag pattern with a winding angular ground plan. Voids created by the fragments of the straight lines punctuate through the building symbolize the incarnation of the final Judism, a sense of emptiness. The whole project is based on the three major events that jews lived during the war: holocaust, exile and finally a little hope by the end of the war. That’s why he conceived an axis for each that was named after his event. The axis of holocaust, exil and continuity.
The Entrance
- In the Old building.
- Symbolize interwining of Jews and Germans.
- Large entrance with untreated concrete and sharp angle.
- Dark and narrow path.
Axis of Holocaust

- Black wall and total silence.
- Lid by natural lighting from a small opening.
- Feeling of enclosed, empty, terror and cold.
- Lead to a garden with 49 pillars tilted to double 10 degree.
- Gives the feeling of disorient and instability.
- Visitor looks up to the sky gives them hope.
Axis of Continuity
- Longuest pathway ends with staircase.
- Enhance movement from dark, tightly enclosed to large, naturally lit.
- Escape from dark, hard and uncomfortable space.
- Build of untreated reinforced concrete.
- Space lighed up through sky light.
- Echo from metal faces cause eerie sensation.

The Voids
The staircase connects the axis of continuity to the exibition above. It emphasizes on continuity and verticality. One goes through the terror finally finds hope.

Implanté sur un lieu d’un ancien site préhistorique, le musée se caractérise par ses volumes irréguliers et éparpillés sur le terrain rappelant les outils paléolithiques et les matériaux locaux.
L’ensemble du projet fait allusion à une grotte ce qui justifie la sobriété des matériaux et le jeu d’ombres et de lumières.
L’intérieur du musée se divise en deux parties: privée et publique traduites architecturalement au niveau des formes et des volumes.
