It's false. He built that memorial to honor the Jews that died (or were murder, I should say) in the Holocaust.

Peter Eisenman wants people to experience the memorial he designed as a holy place.

TRUE

FALSE

Explanation:

Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, located in Berlin and designed by architect Peter Eisenman consists of a grid of 2711 concrete slabs located on an inclined field. According to the architect´s project text, the memorial was designed to represent how a rational or ordered system can grow too large and out of proportion that it loses touch with human reason, and that "all closed systems of a closed order are bound to fail". His intention was to create a monument that conveys the idea of a living memory, where the past is active in the present, without nostalgia, or memory of the past, since understanding the experience is impossible; only the living memory of the individual experience. So, it's not to be regarded as a holy place, but as a place where the past manifests itself in the present.

1 - since it's a library, i'd like putting a sculpture from ancient greece, probably from the hellenistic epoch.

2 - i'd also like the statue to be from a famous person from that time, a philosopher of possible.

3 - i'd want the statue to be of a man sitting down on a tree stump with a book on his hands (either writing or reading), to demonstrate the love for reading.

4 - i'd also like to have the statue with a darkish colour and high contrast, as well as a statue that resembles balance and a little movement on his head if he is reading or on his hand if he's writing.
