The ‘Upside-Down’ House: Daniel Libeskind for Children (in German)

Why are the walls in the Jewish Museum Berlin slanted? Why does a staircase end in nothing? Why do no flowers bloom in the garden? Our young visitors explore Daniel Libeskind’s architecture in a playful way and design their own house out of cardboard, modeling clay, and wire.

With Muirgen Gourgues: After studying German studies and acting in France, Muirgen Gourgues worked for several years as an assistant director and later in various language- and culture-related roles. For over ten years, she has been working with groups in Berlin’s museums and memorial sites, including the Jewish Museum Berlin, where she uses the Libeskind building as a starting point for exchange.

Scribble – Libeskind’s Architecture in the Sketchbook (in German)

How do we perceive a space? What does this space do to us and our perception? In this tour, we engage with Daniel Libeskind’s museum building through drawing and capture our impressions on paper. For adults and young people aged 14 and up.

With Antonia Poppy: 
Antonia Poppy is currently completing a Cultural Voluntary Year at the Jewish Museum Berlin and developed this workshop as part of her project. Drawing on her interest in architecture, she invites participants to consciously perceive and interpret spaces through drawing. She first encountered the method of sketching buildings based on personal perception during a trial course of study.

Supported by Muirgen Gourgues: 
After studying German studies and acting in France, Muirgen Gourgues worked for several years as an assistant director and later in various language- and culture-related roles. For over ten years, she has been working with groups in Berlin’s museums and memorial sites, including the Jewish Museum Berlin, where she uses the Libeskind building as a starting point for exchange.
