Windowless Skyscrapers

Probably server space

Databases, mainframes, network gateways.
And Area 51, ofc.

Fucking brutalist architecture

>>19402432

There's a windowless building in Durham, UK. Its floorplan is unlisted and it has secure locks. A few rumours about it being used for hidden research (apparently it's connected to the university) but nothing solid.

>>19402442
>>19402480

if its just server space, why are the buildings camouflaged and under such high security?

Aren't some oil farms?

>>19402496
Camouflage would be adding windows, brainiac.

>>19402432
Nearly all AT&T buildings that hold actual hardware are windowless. It's easier to build them like that, and it keeps the climate stable

I have a love-hate relationship with architecture like this.
Sometimes I fantasize about building a mansion with a hideous brutalist exterior: a great stone monolith! And yet inside, every luxury except a view.
I like to think it's what's inside that counts.

>>19402432
If it's AT&T it's definitely some server farm. Why so much security ? Because if somebody actually got into server farm he could get all the information of AT&T customers including credit card details and addresses. Why windowless ? Because server farms usually don't have any people inside of them, just technicians for swapping hardware and they are designed for the best cooling possible so windows would interfere with that.

>>19402919
then why are they not in remote rural areas?

>>19402492
Could easily broadcast frequencies from a building like that and study behavior of citizens

>>19402979

what are "frequencies"?

>>19402983
A frequency is like wifi it sends and receives messages.

The essential, private stuff is kept in facilities that have multiple basements and a ground floor. Typically outside of the city and fenced in.

Those skyscrapers hold nothing but accountants, IT workers and server space.

Many contain sever farms, many actually just contain oil wells. LA has a ton of oil rigs wrapped in concrete structures that hide them a bit and cut down on noise.

possibly oil wells

because most of their workforce is probably in the cities?

you guys are overly paranoid

>>19402499
yes

>>19402953
workforce convenience and physical proximity for emergency services and literal fast access

>>19402492
nobody cares about UK faggot

large parts of these buildings are for disaster recovery, especially the below ground levels. if a small or dirty nuke goes off, a ground level invasion of the city, or a natural disaster cripples infrastructure, these buildings will hold up to a lot of punishment. the disaster recovery materials, emergency food and fuel, and emergency communications equipment are all there.

>>19402432
Is this mr robot building??

Server space and communications hubs in quite a few. The high security is due to the importance of the sites for communication backbones(If one of these sites goes down, shit gets real internet wise) as well as the sensitivity of data hosted there (shocker: clients paying for server space that holds their financial/corporate data don't like just anyone knowing where it is or having access. ).

pretty much this, same with utility buildings and the like, basically in case nuclear blasts, and things of that nature. That and because those people are soul-less assholes.

Look around your town or any town for that matter. Pretty much all Telco/ISP backend buildings have minimal or brick glass windows, or completely windowless. Been that way since forever.

I take it not many ITT know much about the history of Telcos.

O wait. They don't want to be "autist fags"

Jesus this shit again.

1, Building is windowless, because they are designed first as giant faraday cages if a high altitude nuke causes an EMP fryout of electronics. Second it has noted elsewhere in the thread, makes climate control much easier to manage and retro modify.
2, They are secured sites because they contain critical government backbone services. But also shit like backup sites for financial exchange matching engines and their various co-located partner equipment.
3, When they want to hide something in a urban center they either do it at an airport where it is actually pretty easier to hide in plain site like Skunkwerks was famous for, or they build down like the Iranians have done below Tehran for much of their nuclear R&D facilities.

Some things don't need light to see, OP.

>>19402432
They are going to be used as a way to not be raptured into ayy lamo spaceships of course. How do you know know something this simple. My best advice to you is to buy blackout curtains so light can not get you.

>>19403343
work with related as well...people do not know the stringent list of security requirements hosting companies needs to pass in an audit, for them to be taken seriously...they don't know because it's on a need to know basis and under NDA's.

Gonna bet on server farm or even utility hub. As others have mentioned, oil wells are frequently hidden inside basic brick building in LA. Out in the IE, they do the same thing all the time: build fake houses around water pumps and filter units (there's alot hot springs near San Bernardino); hide electrical transformers, and gas line hubs inside tiny little buildings.

>>19403350

there's an entire wiki-page on it.
nothing paranormal. NSA involvement makes it plausibly sinister in nature now though

Based on design, it's a data canter and the structural design is for massive heat dissipation. Can you visit with a thermal camera and post back.

Think about termite mounds.
Termites are smaller then a grain of rice, but some of their towers are easily ten feet tall.
And they kind of look the same.

Fake Fronts/windowless Buildings are a thing since the 1900. They are mostly used to cover up ugly structures like Wastewater Facilitys/everything infrastructure,,,
Would be a big pile of shit that could be hidden behind a frontage of this size, so i also roll with the Server Farm thing..
Does (sic) Google say something about the street, or anything tech related on the buildings adress?

Have some common sense and some conspiracy stuff all in one

Theyre windowless to prevent spying via lipreading and laser listening devices. Nothing more.

In major metropolitan areas, you want most of your data load to be coming from within the W.A.N, or even better, the M.A.N. Bandwidth is still a thing even on large scales.

Broadly refer to the frequency of waves of electromagnetic radiation, which is effectively all of our airborne telecomms (wifi + cellular + radio) but also covers x-rays, microwaves (the kind that cook), ultraviolet radiation (the kind that burns) and all visible light. It's all waves of the exact same energy with the waves occurring at different frequencies -- different intervals. Visible light is the least frequent, dangerous shit is the most.

Anon was probably using it as a placeholder boogeyman. But there are declassified federal documents (can't remember if they were CIA or DARPA/DOD) that detailed the ability to use microwave radiation at the resonance frequency of the bones in the ear to effectively transmit spoken messages to an individual -- basically encoding speech into microwaves to make you literally hear voices in your head.

There's also publicly acknowledged microwave tech that can kill silently from kilometers away, and IIRC there's actually third party tutorials on how to make DIY microwave weapons.

These developments had to come from research and that research had to be conducted on someone somewhere; there's plenty of precedent in the US/UK to believe it was conducted without consent on civilians. If you don't believe there's precedent, I can point you in the right direction, but you have a long road ahead of you.
