    The document discusses how architecture is influenced by and reflects the culture it exists within. It provides two examples of architecture that demonstrate this relationship between structure and culture. The Nordic Embassies in Berlin were designed by different Nordic architects but share a common design element of copper louvers that encircle the buildings and provide privacy while maintaining an open facade. The Jewish Museum in Berlin was designed by Daniel Libeskind to represent through its zig-zag form the Jewish experience before, during, and after the Holocaust rather than just serve as a museum building. The author's view is that a mismatch between a structure and its surrounding culture can lead to problems.

    In this the author talks about how
    buildings goes in coordination
    with the culture itself, how its built
    form is affected by the ideologies
    of the culture in that particular
    area. How traditional methods
    played into role during
    construction and made it an ideal
    example, also to restrict the
    evolution of architecture or rather
    (A) Nordic Embassies, Berlin,
    form a rulebook for it. Here are a
    Germany
    few examples to better

    understanding - (B) Jewish Museum, Berlin,


    Germany

    " A mismatch between structure and culture is a recipe for a major disaster."

    buildings in total. Out of which 5 are Denmark, Iceland,
    Norway, Sweden & Finland. The 6th building is a
    felleshus of five other buildings.
    The buildings gain their significance through
    conventional architectural.

    JEWISH MUSEUM, BERLIN, GERMANY
    Daniel Libeskind's design was the only project that
    implemented a radical, formal design as a
    conceptually expressive tool to represent the Jewish
    lifestyle before, during, and after the Holocaust.

    The building's Zig - Zag, Titanium-Zinc façade and


    features underground axes, angled walls, and bare
    concrete “voids” without heat or air-conditioning.

    architect Daniel Libeskind did not want simply to
    design a museum building, but to recount German-
    Jewish history.
