Sinister sites

So...out of curiosity, what do all you architects think about symbolism in architecture?  Specifically, in reference to the "sinister sites" that have been posted at vigilantecitizen.com in recent years?

Some examples:

IR$ hq

£A ¢entral £ibrary

Ro¢k@feller ¢enter

A$tana Khaz@k@stan

And more at this on this "$ini$ter" page.

PS.  and why isn't this stuff taught in arch schools?!

Really?  Not a single architect has any comment on o¢¢ult symbolism in public architecture? 

Is it fear?  Complicity?  Apathy?

Handsum, it's because we are generally intelligent enough to avoid pointless conspiracies and paranoid superstitions.

what's so bad about the occult anyway?  as far as i'm concerned, sybolism behind a statue of atlas isn't any different than symbolism behind a keystone, a quoin, or a doric capital.
