You are right: You won´t understand the building, but you can feel the spirit of it.
I think, a guy with 19 years has done a good job.
Manuel, go on….!!!!

The problem with this post is not the photographs but the post’s title.
To me it doesnt look like Manuel was interested in documenting the project using conventional “architectural photography” norms. Thus no entrance, site, “internal flow” etc.
The photos are about geometry and texture. The two buildings that form this project are massive, heavy and cubic but one is smooth and polished and the other rugged, light absorbing, porous.

If the post was titled Moody photograps by Manuel Eckl people wouldnt be making irrelevant complaints about its clarity, of course comments about the quality of the photos themselves still apply and that is up to any individual’s taste.

By the way if you want to see the building in a conventional way just go to flickr: http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=%22Jewish+Museum+in+Munich%22&m=text

Did Manfred Eicher commission this building for the next 20 ECM albums?

I can only publish the material I have, Floyd! The images came from a local photographer rather than from the architects, so I don’t have drawings in this case I’m afraid.

However, we’ve just uploaded plans and elevations of the Polish pavilion for Shanghai Expo 2010, if you’re interested…

We have asked for drawings before and you ignore us. Rather than having an architecture section, just have a section called CRAPPY PHOTOGRAPHS and leave us alone.

i agree with bald. the photos aren’t horrible, they just don’t help us the reader understand the building.

regardless of the photo kid’s age, these “artsy” pix do nothing to represent the project. if you’re goal is to represent a design project, then your images should support it.

these pix don’t do that and are thus, essentially worthless. where’s the entrance? what’s the site? what’s the internal flow?

The photographer is 19! Give the guy a break! You should all consider the impact of your negative comments on others, and support this site for giving young creative people a platform

i know this building quite well, (from the outside only). It has far more to show then these, sorry, but moodless photos.
it’s not a trick – and it’s not a prison
