<p>I remember that I read somewhere some years ago that they've built a computing building with the 'P=NP?' question built in it from bricks so that they later have the option to rearrange these bricks to form <span class="math-container">$P \neq NP$</span> or <span class="math-container">$P=NP$</span>. Now I cannot find anything about this at all. What is this building?<br />

I remember that I read somewhere some years ago that they've built a computing building with the 'P=NP?' question built in it from bricks so that they later have the option to rearrange these bricks to form $P \neq NP$ or $P=NP$. Now I cannot find anything about this at all. What is this building?
