It says the rational[e] for the atrium like that was that there is a subway line beneath. I’m not certain a subway line underneath necessitates the building above ground expressing that bisection. One they could have hidden the compensating structure underground or two they could have moved the building a few meters one way or the other to avoid bisection altogether, so to me it seems more like a perfect excuse to realize some fanciful architecture. It’s not as if we don’t build buildings over busy roadways or subway lines elsewhere.
