The Noguchi Red Cube sculpture which stands behind Tyler as he says he's near Charles' office is a stone's throw away from where the twin towers stood. Noguchi said the cube, on its side, was like the roll of a dice: chance.
The cube is surrounded on three sides by skyscrapers which draws the eye upward. The cube also contributes to this effect by being placed on one of it's corners. It stands out from the surrounding, first, of course is that it is a bright red, second because it's lines run diagonally while the surrounding buildings are horizontal and vertical and finally because of while the skyscrapers appear very solid, the cube is balanced precipitously on one corner.
Location:
In front of 140 Broadway Ave
