"The entire design language of the building is built around the visual world of the deep sea. Curved panoramic screens wrap around rooms showing beluga whales gliding through blue water."
"In the server corridor, where rack upon rack of hardware lines both sides of a narrow hallway, the ceiling opens up into a curved screen of swimming fish, merging the infrastructure beneath the ocean surface with the ocean itself."
"Data centers and ocean imagery have no obvious connection, until you start thinking about cooling systems, water usage, and the thermal logic that governs how these buildings function."
Lia and Michell Hur from the Savannah College of Art and Design designed the Google Sustainable Headquarters, winning awards for its innovative approach to data server room aesthetics. The design incorporates ocean imagery, with curved screens displaying marine life, creating an immersive experience. This unexpected connection between data centers and the ocean highlights the importance of cooling systems and thermal logic in building design. The concept emphasizes the need for a more engaging and beautiful representation of technology and sustainability in architecture.
