Arik Levy - Experimental Growth. “We are the prehistorical people of the future and this construction and form may represent the future “cave”. It is also meant to make disappear the obvious normal space references of straight walls and corners that gives us point of reference for the eye, the mind and the body.” Arik Levy writes.
