"As
an idea of silence. What was taken away from people was their ability
to speak. I wanted a memorial that spoke without speaking.” With
these words, Peter Eisenman presented a few
weeks ago his most recent work – and his most controversial one
– the memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, unveiled in Berlin
after years of debate. Professionally speaking, it is a happy moment
for the American architect who last year won the Leone d’Oro for
lifetime’s work at the Venice Biennale and who, following an extensive
retrospective in Vienna dedicated to his work, is now the subject
of a major exhibition in Italy, at Modena.
