Visual Pillars

Abandoned Financial Cathedral

Vaulted concrete, brutalist columns

Broken stock tickers, fallen luxury décor

Grand scale, but intimate lighting

Cozy Survival Layer

Warm desk lights

Steam mug, radio hum

Soft amber lamps vs harsh corporate neon

Living System

Everything pulses, breathes, scrolls, spins

No dead pixels: idle animation everywhere
