New children's museum in the Jewish Museum Berlin

3rd prize in the non-open, 2-phase competition

02–06/ 2016

From the jury report on the first stage of the competition:
- Spatially strong concept, with a set but also abstracted ark as a world of its own
- Creates two spatial zones of very different quality
- The large experience space with different zones, stages and rooms is convincing
- The concept of offering a variety of approaches to staging and presentation and leaving their further specification to the planning process is welcomed
- The approaches presented offer high-density experiential and cognitive spaces
- It is discussed how the experiences in the individual rooms relate to the overall context (dramaturgy).
- The spatial intermediate zone to the Diaspora garden creates an area for reflection in contrast to this
- The separation of the interior and exterior spaces of the ark provides the necessary clarity and orientation
- The entrance structure of the penetrating ship's hull convincingly carries the concept into the urban space - but may lead to spacing issues
