The Guardian reported that a design has been unveiled for a new arts venue at the World Trade Center. The translucent, veined marble and glass building designed by architect Joshua Prince-Ramus is a proposed 99,000 square feet with three auditoriums and a rehearsal room. The rooms and halls will feature movable walls to create up to 11 configurations, with the largest configuration able to hold up to 1,200 people for bigger events. The $250m project is scheduled to open in 2020.

What the article failed to mention is the uncanny similarity between the building and the Lemarchand’s “Lament Configuration” box from Clive Barker’s Hellraiser series of films. The fact that the building contains reconfigurable rooms makes the similarity even more profound.
 

The Lament Configuration
 
In the Hellraiser films, solving this puzzle box creates a bridge through which demonic beings called Cenobites may enter the mortal realm to bring about pain and suffering.
 

Solve the puzzle and you get these guys.
 
We think the proposed building at the WTC site is quite gorgeous, but we’re concerned that it could be full of Cenobites who want to tear our souls apart.

After the jump, see what happens when you mess around with the box…
