This project makes my little passively cooled datacenter project look like amateur-hour (ok, it looked like that before). The entire building was built for 20M$ back in 1965 to house a giant Van Der Graaf generator, but now it’s a pretty sweet looking ultra-efficient datacenter (pdf)! This kind of thing just inspires me because its a mix of conservation, green design, high tech utilitarianism, and modern architectural art all wrapped into one.
