Few buildings have impressed me the way the Jewish Museum in Berlin did. The fact that it is designed by one of my favorite architects may or may not play a role here, but most likely does because I'm probably more responsive to this kind of architectural language and to the way it manages to convey ideas and feelings. And the fact that Libeskind was for years a theorist of architecture also plays a role in the fact that I am drawn to his style, as I firmly believe that no valuable work of art can be created if one doesn't first know the bases of his art, the theory behind the way shapes and volumes, colors and textures work with each other to give an outstanding result. I believe and have seen it over the years around me that this stands for all kinds of art, because nothing can make an artist more bold in using his language and more sure about what to say and especially how to say it and how to make his feelings reach the world, than knowing that the instruments he uses to create his art are the right ones. An theory, well assimilated theory, is one of the most important instruments in the hands of an artist (although an invisible one), one of his best friends when it comes to conveying his feelings through his works. And no, theory - feelings, that's not a contradiction! Maybe because I believe all this about theory and art and because I'm convinced that knowing it helps a lot (otherwise it wouldn't have been taught in schools), I'm now working on a tutorial about architectural photography that will try to cover the theoretical part of it seen from a practical point of view.
