Say what you want about Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum in Berlin and its ridiculous undulating zig zags and complete ignorance for its urban context. It is Daniel Libeskind theories on EXPERIENCE that I, and this post, are interested in. I tend to agree with Libeskind when he says, "What is important is the experience you get from it. The interpretation is open." ['it' being the architecture]. Many don't think about how architecture and built spaces can affect you being there, your feelings at that time, and the collective memory you take away with you. That is, until you are hit with a truly experiential space. Libeskind manages to do this not only once, but numerous time through out his Jewish Museum in Berlin. Easily, the most memorable of these experiential spaces was with in one of Daniel's "Memory Voids" which was occupied by a truly experiential art exhibit, Menashe Kadishman's "Fallen Leaves"...
