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.

based on the images pictured above, the major difference between the two cathedrals: the cathedral of notre dame and the amiens cathedral, is that the cathedral of notre dame emphasizes the horizontal lines while the amiens cathedral emphasizes the vertical lines.
