Hughen/Starkweather was commissioned to create a site-specific artwork for the Google Cloud lobby. The wood panel painting titled “Infrastructure: Cloud/Orchard/Creek” references the ecological, agricultural, and engineering history of the Sunnyvale area and the Guadalupe Slough watershed, the local water infrastructure, and the complex layers of the engineered cloud stack. The colors reference the hundreds of acres of fruit orchards that once existed in this area. This building complex previously served as the R&D facility that launched the first supercomputer, the CDC 6600, in the early 1960s. The site is now fully powered by 100% renewable energy, zero plastic waste, and on-site water recycling, which captures, stores, and filters 260,000 gallons of rainwater on average per year.
