Abstract
The possibility of realization of freeform shapes in architecture is, in some way, a symbol of contemporary architecture. Wavy roofs and walls of buildings, curvilinear shapes of objects designed and executed through CAD techniques, are now likely to be accomplished easier, quicker and cheaper than in the past. So, we ask ourselves, is it possible to build the Red Sea? The Museum of the History of Polish Jews built in 2013 in Warsaw, stands as one of the newest Polish accomplishments, dealing with curved surfaces in architecture. The main part of the museum’s building is a cuboid interrupted by a curvilinear rupture. Architects describe this curvilinear part in the project as the Yum Suf, or Red Sea. Details on its concretization are of great interest for the author of this paper.
