In a sane world which one would you prefer horizontal or vertical layout?

    I’d love to know the “why” behind this. It almost looks like floors 28-40 were added afterwards, but you don’t just “add” floors to an elevator like you could stairs.

    The other thing would be maybe that there are multiple shafts in the bank but only this specific elevator visits 28-40 and they had to add it in after the fact?

    Dunno, it does look like work is being done on the elevator assuming the photo is real. Like the floor is bare and there's padding material up all around.

    Depending on how the boards those buttons connect to are wired this might have just been the best way to do it with less wiring but idk how that stuff actually works and I'm far from an electrical engineer.

    The person who installed this just mapped out their own brain for us.

    If you break the code, you can figure out where 1-4 is.

    My theory: someone has found out how to pry those buttons out and push them back in, and messed with the people using this elevator.

    Each column is arranged in numerical order, the columns might represent some arbitrary division that makes sense only in terms of the function of the building. The first column might be all the floors which deal with marketing, the second accounting and so on. When you arrange things objects alphabetically camshafts would be next to cameras which without knowledge of the alphabet would make no sense (ACC).

    Looks like this is neither in the US (as there’s a 13th floor) nor anywhere with a large Chinese community (as there are floors ending in 4)

    Believe it or not, it’s not that unusual for buildings in the US to have a 13th floor. While most don’t, I’ve been in plenty that do.

    It’s a silly superstition, and in my observation, it faded towards the end of last century. The buildings that I’ve seen that do have a 13th floor have tended to be newer ones.

    what's the problem exactly?

    Beats me. It's pretty obviously a 5D elevator with each column representing an axis. It's common sense if you're familiar with octonions and think of the elevator as a vector with the lobby as the origin. I don't know how much more clear the designers could have made it.

    I would hate trying to get to the 3rd and 4th floor.
