EXP2: COMMUNICATING SCALE & SIGNIFICANCE

a






















What is interesting about the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is the usage of blocks to represent pages of the Talmud (a central text of mainstream Judaism).


"According to Eisenman's project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason."


What is interesting is how these blocks are used to induce emotions within the space. They communicate a  message as a group but do not make that much sense on there own.
