Love instead of Hate perhaps?

Below are images of The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe designed by architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold. It consists of a 19,000 square metres (4.7 acres) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field.
Building began on April 1, 2003 and was finished on December 15, 2004.

The memorial graveyard is situated right in the center of Berlin with a purpose to constantly remind the general public of the evil done to the jews during the war.

From architectural point of view the place is rather dull. Personally, I have nothing against jews, but I don't think it is good idea at all to have a graveyard right in the center of the city (even a symbolic one!). Moreover, I believe that it is detrimental to the city's health, both from spiritual view and a practical one, to have a negative 19,000 square spot in its heart. Nor do I believe that its place and purpose is justifiable in 2011.








Wouldn't it be healthier to use this space to build something that would promote Peace &Love instead of Fear & Hate?

Lovertising vs Hatevertising

Following the simple truth (what goes around, comes around) here's a simple clip on the subject of intimidation and disrespect towards smokers.

a more elaborate video presentation about the negative effects of anti-smoking hatevertising propaganda can be found on youtube - The Law of Attraction vs Anti-Smoking campaign

also here is a spoof animation about how easily statistics can be manipulated to create a desired public opinion (a pretty common practice in politics and advertising) :
