  • New York.  "A Room of Quiet"

    New York. "A Room of Quiet"

    In the original plan for the new UN Headquarters, a tiny room had been provided as a place dedicated to silence, where people could withdraw into themselves, regardless of their faith, creed or religion, but Dag Hammarskjöld wanted something more dignified. In his efforts he was supported by a group, composed of Christians, Jews, and Moslems, the "Friends of the UN Meditation Room", who combined their efforts and provided the money for a room worthy of a world organization. The work on the room began, and Mr. Hammarskjöld personally planned and supervised in every detail the creation of the "Meditation Room". I recommend following this link for further details of this amazing space: .https://www.un.org/depts/dhl/dag/meditationroom.htm

  • Berlin.  Wall Memorial

    Berlin. Wall Memorial

    “The man is no longer a prisoner or a critic of the wall, he is standing on it, that means he is above it. He has to deal with this new situation and has to keep on walking. As a memory how many people failed on the Berlin wall, a loud gesture of triumph would not have been appropriate. My balancing man stands for a cautious way of optimism, openness to the future, but also for the feeling that freedom brings along responsibility to make something out of it.” Stephan Balkenhol
