AB  - Looking at designs for the Cave of the New Being. With the growing genre of architecture generated by biomorphic design and biomimetic processes, a reevaluation of Frederick J. Kiesler�s work is ever more timely. During the mid-20th century he became increasingly occupied with the relationship of structure and natural form in architecture. The Cave of the New Being (also known as the Grotto for Meditation), proposed in the 1960s for New Harmony and contracted by Mrs. Blaffer Owen, represented the designer�s pi�ce de r�sistance, embodying all of the intellectual currents of his era, from surrealism to biotechnics, yet it was never realized. (http://offcite.org/cave-of-new-being/) The location was to have been near the Roofless Church at 420 North St. Kiesler is believed to the man in the beret.
