The Jewish Museum in Berlin
Author: Diego Angeloni
The strong point of Jewish Museum of Berlin, designed by Daniel Libeskind, derives from his determination to make his message immediately clear. Allegorically, the building itself, with its theatrical contortions, and sharp edges is a warning to future generations.

MUSEUM OF THE ARA PACIS
Project: Richard Meier - Rome (Italy) 1995/2006
Author: Diego Angeloni
The new Museum of the Ara Pacis of Richard Meier implies a net distinction between the museum as container and supplier of services, and the external or, better to say , urban image, of the building in which these two factors are in conflict. Without doubt the interior has an avant guard museum structure, as far as the illumination of the works is concerned, the Read article>>
