in the architectural style, or perhaps more accurately,
the lack of it. When you open the door
to one of these buildings, it's kind of like
opening a door in a dream, they're not even really
buildings inside, they're not even really
buildings inside, there's no second floor. It's just a big empty box,
like a barn. And then,
some of these buildings

[narrator] The plan was not to have a plan
00:00:03.007 --> 00:00:06.967
and to allow the place to grow organically.
00:00:06.967 --> 00:00:11.000
And this is sometimes reflected in the architectural style,
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.009
or perhaps more accurately, the lack of it.
00:00:15.233 --> 00:00:17.567
When you open the door to one of these buildings,
00:00:17.567 --> 00:00:19.533
it's kind of like opening a door in a dream,
00:00:19.533 --> 00:00:20.198
they're not even really buildings inside,
00:00:20.198 --> 00:00:20.006
they're not even really buildings inside,
00:00:21.667 --> 00:00:22.767
there's no second floor.
00:00:22.767 --> 00:00:25.004
It's just a big empty box, like a barn.
00:00:25.004 --> 00:00:27.833
And then, some of these buildings have these crazy,
00:00:27.833 --> 00:00:29.007
I don't know if they're chimneys or towers,
00:00:29.007 --> 00:00:32.000
pointing off in all different directions.
