What does the Zenith building stand for?

[Tori_J]

The zenith building definitely have a very deep meaning to John, I do look forward to know the author's opinion of it, but from the conclusion I could draw from the plot, I would say the zenith building represents John's potential, what he has up his arsenal, perhaps we would find out that he indeed designed it.

[Chiwelite O]

Seems I'm the one who felt John was connected in the destruction of the first building and believed that helping to build the second one may bring him redemption. One that never really came.

[Rizki Pradana]

I think the zenith building represents his ability and potential and also his dream. But to make that kind of building need to have some sort of shady truth.

[Neshboy Aburi]

It seems to me that the building represented our dreams and aspirations that we are yet to achieve. For John, it acted as a measure of who he wanted to be in his career, and that's why he was able to live out this dream even it meant lying about everything about himself.

i think he could have seen who did the attack and let it happen, he didn't do anything to try to stop the attack or he knew about the attack before hand and didn't tell anyone about it, the fact that many people were injured and died because of you can definitely leave a mark on you and it could even trigger his amnesia as a mechanism to not loose your mind

I really like this idea! I also think that the building represented John's "perfect" life, the life where it looked like he had everything but deep inside he knew he was missing something important and meaningful. He didn't know what that was, which is maybe why he couldn't ever see the building or its plans.

Zenith star building was probably the 'biggest' edifice in town. It represented uniqueness. The pre-destruction builders were likely the admiration of every eye - including John Gowan's.
What then would such a tower stand for, other an architect's dream in a lifetime!

[Astral Magi]

I see the building as representing John's ego, something he can show off, although one wonders if the explosion wasn't perhaps also in some way linked to John.

The building represented John's hope, especially after being in a coma for so long. I feel it was a stepping stone for him to achieve even greater things.

The building represents his chance to make it big or to achieve his dreams of being a more well-known, more successful architect. He is desperate to do more than he has in his career to date. He is frustrated in his career and he is trying to force a situation where he can prove himself and get ahead.

I totally agree with you. John wanted to prove to people, first and foremost to himself, that he was better than everyone thought. It is obvious that family and career problems had a peculiar effect on his self-esteem.

[Desi Lemman]

I believe that the Zenith building stands for the things that John can achieve if he puts his mind to it.

For now, it is the peak of his career. His greatest achievement so far.

[Ethan Howe]

I think the building means much to John's career and his professional abilities. It also reflects his future as an architect.

[Inge van Tonder]

I think it stands for his success and dreams and what he sacrificed to get there. He wanted to be famous an well-known, but at what cost?

[usef nahg]

I think the building represents John and his future. All his dreams, potentials, and all that he works/ed for

[kirthana_shivakumar]

The incident probably gave him a lot of trauma and made him feel survivor's guilt. That could have triggered the amnesia.

[Hhannahh]

I'm not sure there's more to the building other than that it was an opportunity for John. John's amnesia might be the explanation for your later question.
