When outside and looking at windows of tall buildings, you’d think that you would be able to see stuff occuring inside the building. But you rarely ever see see any activity. It seems fairly lifeless.
But humans outside the building define the character of the building.
The doorman really humanizes the building and speaks of the building itself. The doorman gives that building a real human touch. He activates the entrance to the building.
How can a building help to define its character through human activity? Include a storefront, a restaurant, some benches, patios, ashtrays.
Also smokers can behave as the representatives for the building. The constant lingering of smokers sets the stage.
Instead of this cold lifeless facade.
It seems like this is calling for some sort of poem.
