meaning of a sentence
Does the following context want to say that in the case of Eisenman's memorial, debates were about generally having or not having a memorial, while in the case of Whiteread's memorial, debates were before everything specifically around Whiteread's proposal for the memorial (while these debates might have been a sign of disapproval of having a memorial, like in Eisenman's case)?
Context:
Unlike Eisenman’s proposal, which entered the Berlin debate at a later stage in proceedings – given that it resulted only from the rerun of the competition – in Whiteread’s case it was far more the memorial design itself that seemed to stoke the debate in the first place (though that may well have been a smoke-screen relating to the disinclination to have a memorial at all).

AlpheccaStarsEisenman’s proposal came later than Whiteread'sBut, I am sure that "at a later stage in proceedings" does not mean "Eisenman’s proposal came later than Whiteread's". I think it means that in the case of Berlin memorial debates existed even before it was decide what (whose proposal) was going to be built as the memorial.
