| Sumario: | [EN] In 1997, Peter Eisenman won the competition for a Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The project was built between 2003 and 2005 on a site near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. A year after its inauguration, the first cracks appeared in the 2,711 concrete slabs that constitute the memorial. This sparked a debate among the media, technicians and administrations that lasted until 2016. Over those years a multitude of studies were conducted, and treatments were applied, yet none succeeded in stopping the proliferation of cracks, delamination and other defects. This text retraces the unveiling of the work with the aim of highlighting the critical role of action of the passage of time in the project, without which the Memorial would be meaningless. It also proposes a reflection on scale and materiality, or on the traces of the past that a city can harbour. |
