The UW Hospital in Madison has a similar door, and they occasionally add decor in that dead space portion as well! It’s a really nifty solution to having ADA accessible automatic doors and keeping an airlock in place to maintain building heat/cooling.
So, are the eastry bits rotating in the door as well?
Yes, they do. It’s quite … distracting.

No, it’s a spiffy invention (and a huuuuuuge space within the revolving door). It’s just the decor is kind of weird to see.
There are a couple of revolving doors in New York like that, but the small spaces are open and used the same as the large ones.
