Entry Description

The mountain's natural and heavy volume inspired the use of peaked stones. An element of its nature, the peaks of the same rocks as Mount Sofeh and cube-shaped in rows and regular columns are placed together to form a larger and bulky cube. The path of access, entry, and exit as the forces applied to the cubes caused them to move in the horizontal axis and eventually, the movement of cars and the entrance and exit locations as the main vector caused the removal of several rock peaks and thus the formation of portals.
