True the quality of the material is not high and most non architects don't like exposed concrete anyway. But other than that it seems to be a decent little place in a cemetery.

This is as others pointed out a very basic and simplistic project. Simple is one thing...simplistic is another.It's supposedlly a place of comtemplatation and meditation but lacks any evocative power...no treatment of the light, shows little for materiality of the space...nothing happens...if didnt know this was supposed to be an homage do the Shoah i guess i would use it to store stuff.If you know similar spaces like zumthors proposal for berlin you'll see how ridicolous this is.

Is this really for the living to pray in as it is more like a mausoleum. Maybe the effect is lost ihn the photos and it is actually more powerful when you are within. What a horrid little building.

As mart said, a good student project. what he did was a poor and small version of Libeskind and Eisenman did before.

It's a beautiful project. It looks a peaceful, calm and quiet place who needs to be visited. Congratulation for publishing all details, and plans as well.
