The Holocaust Memorial Information Centre is located beneath the Memorial, with an exposed concrete ceiling structure that mimics the field of concrete stelae above. Balancing the physical experience of the Memorial, the Information Centre introduces an intellectual element by describing the context and impact of the Holocaust.
It is designed as a guided tour through exhibition rooms, wherein the visitor experiences a close link between information and space, a symbiosis of installation and architecture with light serving as a mediator between content and abstract form. The complexity of light atmospheres draws attention while respecting the powerful and sombre contents of the exhibition.
