According to the website I filched this image from this is a Google server farm building. It is probably located on low cost land somewhere on a road in a suburban industrial park in Anywhere, USA. I would like to hope that Google stores this blog in several places and has not succumbed to the cost-cutting expediency of eliminating redundancy.
This building forms one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure of our modern world. It is also completely banal. But, some architect drew plans for this, and received a paycheck that he (and it's still often a "he" in the design profession) used to buy groceries, and ate and slept and dreamt of tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow.
