Why does every building in NK seem to be designed as a liminal space? Something about the colors and lighting, and lack of windows maybe? Even with a room full of people it gives me that weird feeling.

Look here, guy.... I don't know what liminal means.

And don't tell me to look it up. I did. I still don't know what it means.

Some would describe it as places that look out of place, uncanny. There’s a genre of horror that’s recently come up about these spaces that are off. Like stairs in the woods or a shopping mall which you’ve always seen as full, completely empty during the day.

So for this video it’s uncanny to me cause the court is just one sided and it’s flanked directly by a wall, probably due to construction constraints and that there will never be a large enough crowd for two opposing teams to cheer for their side.

And it’s uncanny to us cause we’re so used to seeing what a ‘normal’ court would look like

It's commonly used to mean uncanny, but that isn't actually what it means.
