Field guide No. 1584
Long story short
More in the edge
A heavy green steel door stands ajar in a basement corridor, and its edge holds a column of tiny lit corridors stacked one above another. The door is thicker than it looks, by several floors.
Field noteCorridors stack inside the door’s edge, a whole building held in two inches of steel.
