This is a picture of the Svalbard Seed Vault, located on a remote island in the Arctic. It is a purely functional building with iconic characteristics. If Hollywood were to make a movie about it the design department would be tasked with making this look overly dramatic. The interior would also be designed to resemble a video game setting--probably with some sort of bottomless pit and lots of robotic equipment that becomes central to some action sequence. In real life, this is what it is. Another qualified expression of human hubris and hope.
