Jewish Museum Berlin
A zinc-clad zigzag that uses architecture itself to tell a story of presence and absence in 20th-century Berlin.
Why this matters
- "Voids" — empty concrete shafts cutting through the building — embody loss
- Slashed window cuts trace lines between addresses of pre-war Jewish Berliners
- Three intersecting axes: Continuity, Emigration, Holocaust
- Opened to the public for two years empty, with no exhibits, before any installation

Critics
“The voids do not represent loss; they are loss given a shape.”
