My Architectural Inspiration for Assignment Two: Yad Vashan Holocaust History Museum by Moshide Safide

This building from an Canadian-Israeli architect, Moshide Safidie clearly gives some clever personalities which clearly relate to Edward Hopper's painting, "The Morning Sun". Safidie as we can see clearly deals with the emotional and depressing side of "The Morning Sun" painting, by the darkness and mysterious aspects of the building interior. When an individual goes inside the building, the individual feels as though they don't want to stay inside this kind of building due to its scary and depressing feel as they feel like they want to get out in a bright world. This buidling has given me some ideas of how I can deal with the personalities, the important aspects with Hopper's paintings and the materiality of the rooms.
