Why it works
The first 30 seconds make the building's hidden interior an open loop while a slow 3D pullback gives it a memorable physical form. A visitor waiting outside returns at 3:45 after the historical explanation, and the 3:54–4:02 queue scene is the excerpt's strongest replay peak. Maps, archive and the scale model shift between city and building scales without losing the central place.
