I love 33 Thomas Street. When I've gone to Manhattan, sitting under it has been one of my favourite things because it's so viscerally hostile that it feels like a horror movie. It's the only skyscraper dedicated to evil things in that city which honestly embraces that, and the result is similar to looking up at a mountain that hates you.
Isn't that the building where the control game takes place?
They also used it as the big bad building in Mr. Robot
A monolith that steals our thoughts to justify killing anyone who displeases it. And when you stand under it, something about its acoustic profile is so unique and unsettling. It dampens the sound around it in a way that makes it uncanny valley territory. Everything is just a little bit off in a way that spikes my fight-or-flight response.
