This memorial located in the heart of Berlin near the Brandenburg Gate is an installation that moved me with a sense of uneasiness.  I first approached the park after an evening at the Sony Center.  The dark skies and moving silhouettes down the dark aisles accentuate the feeling of walking thru a dangerous place where anything could be around the next corner. The stone blocks from above resemble a rolling topography that is disorientating inside the labyrinth. I could not help but want to walk thru on the way back to the hotel. But my pace quickened the deeper that I walked into the maze, making me question my decision.  I had to be careful because of the undulating ground at my feet.  The memorial gave me a brief glimpse into the horror that the victims of the holocaust must have felt.  This is why I love Architecture and how the built environment can have a lasting impact on how we as people perceive the world around us.  To learn more about this memorial go to
