Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city(The Lovin´Spoonful - Summer In The City)
The sun hit hard the city on this day around noon. Shadows have been gone and light was harsh.

American architecture YouTuber Stewart Hicks has posted a thought-provoking video about data centres: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JOmHYyQoO4
Stewart's contention is during the industrial revolution, corporations basically built two kinds of industrial buildings.
The first were repurposable buildings. They may have originally housed production lines or warehouses, but were designed in such a way that they could be adapted for different uses.
Many are still in use today as fashionable loft apartments or trendy open-plan offices.
The second type of industrial buildings were designed around a single piece of equipment for a single extractive purpose. Think steel mills, for example.
At the end of their life, the single-use buildings were often abandoned and left to rust.
Hicks' contention is that hyperscale AI data centres are essentially like those industrial revolution era steel mills.
They're large buildings designed for one specific extractive purpose only: Housing racks or server equipment.
It doesn't need to be this way. It's perfectly possible to house a data centre in a repurposable multistorey building. But it's not being done essentially as a cost-saving measure.
But the end result is, at some point in the future, we're likely to find ourselves with 'rustbelts' of abandoned former data centres that can't be used for any other purpose.
Here's a link to the video again if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JOmHYyQoO4

Updated my 'On the Architectural Hostility of Doorknobs' post to include both audio versions, so you have your pick of narrator at the top! This is an essay about why I find round knobs extremely hostile and frankly, a stupid design. https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/doorknob-hostility/ #Accessibility #A11y #Building #Construction
