Where is the SEVERANCE removed? Limon Industries Location In Real Life explained

Distopian drama Dan Erickson’s Distopian Distopian Drama It happens in a constant snow city, a distant city located … Well, it can be anywhere in the world. The drop we know, Kier is a remote, intentionally isolated village under the control of Lumon Industries, a mysterious corporate monolist located in the city center. The work performed by Lumon is mysterious and important, but the “gap” remains the dying of what he is doing. The show goes behind the quartet of the workers in the Macro -Macro department, and their task is to scan the inexplicable database of the numbers looking for clusters that make them feel scary. Then they sort the scary numbers into the file. It seems that it contributes to Lumona in some way.

Of course, the prerequisite for the show is that Lumon workers were “torn”, that is: when they enter the work space in the basement, they lose all the memories of their external life. After all, when they go out, they restore their original memories, but lose all the memories of their working day. It thinks their faces, with one person, their “outie” just remembering their home life and “Ins”, just remembering the office. Their balance of work and life is aggressively performed by the sci-fi devices implanted in their brain.

As the show promotes (it finishes the second season from this spelling), Lumon became more threatening and strange. They worship the figure of Henry Ford’s type nickname Cyier Igano (the city was named after him) and their work includes goats (!) But also amazing forms of psychological torture. Lumon’s building, as a result, became more and more terrible with every passing episode. This is a wicked construction dedicated to corporate soullessness.

And it’s really! The Lumona building will play the Bell Labs Holmdel complex, located in Holmdel, New Jersey. It’s about an hour away from Manhattan.

The Bell Labs complex was developed by architect Eero Saarinen, which is perhaps the most famous for the construction of the gateway arch in St. Louis, Missouri. He also developed this cool TWA hotel at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and General Motors Technical Center in Michigan. Saarinen has an eye outside, smooth industrial expanses. The appearance of the Bell Labs complex was designed so that they are reflected on the contrary, and certain architectural diggers call the world’s largest mirror.

Saarinin died in 1961, and since then the complex has grown significantly, but the main design remains the same. It is a large mirror “curtain” located in the middle of the external elliptical path. From the air it looks like the eye of a giant goat. The Lumon Water Tower (apparently in the picture above) is actually part of the Saarinen design, though it has not been used for decades.

As many can know Bell Labs, there was a research company that grew up from the First World Telephone Company founded by Alexander Grem Bell. According to the National Geographic siteSome of the earliest lasers were developed in the Holmdel building, as well as the spatial radiation related to the theory of the Big Bang. It seems that in the late 1940s, many large corporations tried to attract hard-working scientists from their unpleasant government jobs, creating a far-state, convenient, high-tech campus as Holmdel’s complex. It worked, and a lot of scientists entered the private sector.

Cinematographers on “SERVENCE” made the building Lumon look blank and gloomy, so it can be strange to find out what the building was designed to be open and friendly. Evening New Jersey wrote an article About the building at the time in 1961, and it is said to be so wide as to avoid unnecessary leg movement. The halls were wide. The stairs were wide. The whole operational ethos was widely. It should have contributed to a sense of community and cooperation, a place where people could hold meetings and conversations on the way to the laboratory itself.

According to the National Geographic article, Saarin’s latest project was not successful. Bell Labs said some staff complain of how sterile the building was, and it feels clearly unfriendly. In addition, the extensive building has placed a lot of its hallways far, which significantly complicated employees to get to each other. In these circumstances, cooperation was more difficult.

Then, in the additional blow to its functionality, the building had to undergo serious repairs when the technology it was built for the home began to change. The building changed his hands several times over the decades and was eventually abandoned in 2006. It will be thwarted, but the locals protested, insisting that it was proclaimed by a local attraction. In the end, the complex was reinterpreted as a shopping center contained in the mall, which houses a local library, theater and public center.

And it earns a lot of money by rencing its space as a place for firing for “break”. Exterior and large -scale interiors are included in the Bell Labs building. Fully white cellar where Mark S. (Star “party down” Adam Scott) And his team’s work is a separate set.

As mentioned, the city of Cyier is constantly snowy, and the audience impresses that this city is never warm. While it is possible to get the impression that the showers had to go north of the Arctic Circle to shoot these scenes, the article in the People’s magazine clarifies that the exterior shows are all filmed in New Yar. Mark S. – more precisely, Mark Scout as he is known for the boundaries of the Lumona building – lives in a small tract located in a Nek, which is located across the Hudson River from the sleepy floor. In the center of the city, Cyar, which is not quite noisy metropolis, is filmed in the city of Bicon, which is only a few miles north of Hudson. (Possibly Integrated?) Irving Character (John Turks) He lives in a boxed residential complex, and this building is located in Kingston, a few more miles along the same river. It was possible to take the boat in Hudsan and make a small excursion to “break”.

There are other snowparts in the “break”. In a recent episode, Ms. Kobel (Patricia Archback) returns to her hometown, a fictional neck of salt to find something from her childhood home. The neck of the salt is destroyed, the former factory city, wounded by the closure of the Lumon production plant. All sequences of the neck of salt, including long snow roads to get there, there were lifted in Canada, particularly in Newfoundland and LabradaR, located in the northeast of the country. No, the whole islands are not like the destroyed salt town.

In the second season, the “severant” also took place four leading heroes in a team tour into a frozen camping called “Gall”. The hollow grief was played by a rather cute state reserve of Minvask, located 90 minutes away north of the north.

One of the most surreal visual effects of the “gap” was the appearance that the fans called the goat. While wandering around the halls of Lumona, Mark and Helle (British Lower) find a room where a man feeds a baby with a bottle (!). In the very last season, the couple returns to the same room, push your way through a small hallway and found themselves in a huge hilly space covered with grass. Goats are openly grazing, and they are overseen as farm people. Anxious that the whole space is enclosed in the white office walls, and the sad office lights are burning from the overhead ceiling. It’s called Lumon a room for mammalian caregiver.

As it turns out, the mammalian room was a real place. Actually it’s just a part Golf Marine Park field In Brooklyn. This is further south than all other places. Showcules were removed there, although complex digital effects were used to create office walls and ceilings. Also, many goats are located through CGI.

Another noticeable place in the “compartment” is the wing of eternity, a museum place located in the basements of Lumon, where Inis goes to get an amazing form of corporate inspiration. The wing of eternity tells about the Igon’s family, the family that founded Lumon – and contains strange statues and even the whole house. It is, like everything in the basement, surrounded by office walls. Scenes in the wing eternal, As described in three -leaveswere shot at an unknown museum in Bronx, but Kierre’s house Igon was actually part of the exhibit in Hadson River Museum in Jonkers. This is also a place where you can visit.
