MUSEU JUDAICO, BERLIM: A ANALISE DOS PRINCIPIOS SENSORIALISTAS APLICADOS À ARQUITETURA

Abstract

Through the aspect of Sensory Architecture, which proposes that the user becomes the focus, and no longer the forms of the project, it is possible to create bonds of identity between the user and the building. Applying concepts based on the stimuli of the human senses, it is possible to create an atmosphere of experience within a work that goes far beyond the purely functional. In this way, it is possible not only to use it, but to feel it, hear it and even smell it. In order to delve deeper into this aspect and understand the benefits of its applicability, an analysis was made of the Jewish Museum, located in Berlin. The building was built through a competition, won by the architect and Jew Daniel Libenskind. As part of the group that the museum's proposal sought to represent, the architect, through sensory stimulation techniques, can induce specific feelings in visitors, with the aim of minimally representing what was, perhaps, the greatest history of persecution ever seen by humanity. Exploring the uneven terrain, materials and also natural light, the architect created environments capable of transmitting feelings such as pain, anguish, oppression and despair. But places capable of transmitting relief and security were also created. In this way, spaces are created that not only tell a story, but also invite the visitor to feel it.
