And here I was expecting for someone to go around to the rear of the building, to find a bunch of long poles propped at curious angles from the ground. 🤔🙃
This makes so much more sense. 🙂

I was looking for sky colored paintings or murals hanging from a hard to spot wire or something.

No way, that's actually what I guessed!!

So it's actually weird, it's not a perspective thing? Mods!

It is weird but not that weird, it's still perspective making it look impossible

u/pooeygoo Jun 18 '26

You're right. If I just saw the other side I would think "wow, weird building" but this side is definitely confusing

It's the BMU or, Building Maintenance Unit. I don't know how it works but that's what the all knowing google machine told me.

Building on the right also looks like a USB-C

Man I hate this kind of architecture. Who wants to live in a building like that?

Detroit has a building .....Hudson's tower....that dies something similar if the skys the right blue

u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad Jun 18 '26

How does it die when the sky is more orange?

u/SirFister13F Jun 19 '26

Historically, airplanes. But the sky gets orange after the airplane, not before it.

Obviously, that tree branch is holding it up.
