My view of the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. I was truly fascinated by the multiplicity of the rectangular cubes spreading over 19,000 sq m (204,440 sq foot) of land between the East and West Berlin of the Cold War...As controversial as it was for not mentioning any names and not referring to familiar symbolism, Peter Eisenman's creation is striking and fully engaging. Heavy. Stripped to the essentials. Monumental but encouraging communication and interaction. Depressing but hopeful. Strict and straight but lively. Repelling but inviting. Problematic as it should be.
