Huge Data Center Looks Like a Circuit Board

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hopefully-the-inside-is-as-advanced-as-the-outside dept.

1sockchuck writes to share a look at Digital Beijing, the data center for the 2008 Olympics. The huge (1.05 million square feet) building was designed to resemble a circuit board from 2 sides and a barcode from the other 2 ground-viewable sides. Looks like the nighttime view of this monster is going to be pretty impressive.

    Let's write hundreds of responses decrying supposed oppressiveness of its look and purposes (compared to, say, Pentagon, a symbol of efficient, transparent and peace-loving government).
