I was struck by the vaguely Egyptian forms on this facade, where the double decker skyway crosses Sixth. It has the arc, like the goddess Nut bending from horizon to horizon, and the Pyramid within a rectangle, a kind of gnostic semaphor beckoning to the iniate with layers of ancient symbolism. Then I realized it was just a pretty conceit of the architect, and no Gnosis was involved at any level, except for the mysterious cheerfulness this doodle conveys.
