The future is coming…………
What will it be? Matter? Meta?
Location: A western suburb of Melbourne
Time: 2050
Unhuman and fully automated data centres are becoming the new type of architecture where drones will replace humans - bringing them into a more efficient rhythm and eliminating the need for manual labour. In an efficient machine environment, humans are no longer the first major player, the human body is no longer the primary scale of the space, but the machines that occupy it now define the architectural parameters that contain them, and form and material architecture are configured to predict the logic of machine perception and comfort.
Experimentation and programming explore how a fully automated centre can become part of human culture and how this cultural shift will change the world. Perhaps fully automated data centres mark the end of human-centred design as we chart an era of hard-drive-centred design, LiDAR-centered design, and automated drone design. But the emergence of new building types does not mean that humanity needs to abandon everything that came before it, which will resonate far into history and even deeper into the future.
