| he 'museum of the history of polish jews', designed by finnish firm lahdelma & mahlamaki architects in collaboration with local practice kurylowicz & assoc.first began as a competition entry in 2005, and is finally being opened to the public - if only partially - tomorrow, april 19th to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the ghetto uprisings that took place in the very site. the competition was won from amidst a panel of participants that included studio daniel libeskind, kengo kuma, zvi hecker architects, peter eisenman, and david chipperfield. the museum, titled 'yum suf' ('sea of reeds') is dedicated to the research and exhibition of the jewish heritage, education, and culture through a series of multi-functional programmatic elements in response to an increased public interest. the primary exhibition room is located under the main hall, with 5,000 m2 of open space loosely organized into different ambiances that aim to present the many facets that make up polish jewish culture and history. |
T| he adjacent plaza that houses the ghetto uprising memorial became a fundamental starting point for the overall footprint of the concrete and steel structure, mirroring the proportions that led to a rectangular plan. the facade is a combination of vertical silk-printed glass louvers, expanses of curtain walls allowing views and sunlight into the building, and copper panels over their consequent seams. the most striking feature is the interior hall for which the project was titled. an enormous organic tunnel-like space, 'pure and silent', welcomes visitors to the museum and cuts through the orthogonal structure with its lightly textured concrete walls. soft gradient shadows and its constantly transforming sinuous nature finds roots in the old testament and at times abstractly references nature's phenomena. the core exhibition of the museum is set to open to the public in the beginning of 2014. |
