Back in the Bronze Age human structures were often circular; stubby tubular shelters of stone, twigs and mud, topped off with a straw roof. If you step inside you instinctively feel safe and cozy, there are no dark corners where danger can luck. It makes you wonder why almost all our buildings have straight lines and right angles, when curved walls are so natural and restful. But this tubular place does not invite you to step inside, the tint evokes horror movies, the framing exaggerates its scale, it is pristine and disquieting. You can picture yourself walking up those stairs, and never coming back down.
