The sacral archaeologic qualities of the Friesenhahn cave site are deserving of reverence and protection. Therefore, the Pleistocene Research Center serves as a medium between the suburban anthropocene and the previous epoch, whilst delicately maintaining a temporal veil between the two worlds.
A series of field and border conditions invite guests and researchers alike to traverse 25,000 years into the past. The metaphysical journey across eons is simulated and symbolized through the pathways and thresholds along it- mentally preparing all who wish to dissolve suburbia into periphery and enter the paradigm where darkness is a medium of vision and the stone of deep time undulates and folds like fabric.
