HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL in Berlin



The Memorial, designed by Peter Eisenman, consists of open space for a multitude of stone monuments and an information center located underneath of the ground. It made by 2711 stones each space between them is about one person to go through. Visitors are able to get in the area from many different points and walk through the space between the stone monuments. The height of the stones located near the open space are below one meter. As one keeps walking further, they gradually increase in height and the tallest ones exceed four meters.

Althought it is a memorial for sadness, you can see children run around columns try to play game in here, sometime you can see adults also play hide and seek. It might be the space provide them lots of hiding space and allow them to play games. Refer to my project, it is a good example to show environment influence people behaviour.
