You rarely find photos of the interiors of buildings like these. It's a bias in the representation of architecture that has serious consequences. In small part it is due to the difficulties involved with photographing interior spaces. Even accounting for that, the exterior of buildings, and frequently a few favored sides, account for the dominant exposure of the architecture.
Moreover, in modern buildings, once you leave the lobby, the experience of the interior is hardly recorded. The users probably don't mind, and may not want photographs that serve as a reminder of their place of toil. I'd be interested in seeing what a typical office in this building looked like--probably something as banal as Dilbert's cubicle farm.
This was the World Trade Center, by the way.
