A-TYPE DRIVEN BY DATA

This thesis introduces the ‘Data-Driven A-Type,’ a new architectural typology for urban data centers, leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance sustainability, adaptability, and efficiency. As smart cities evolve, traditional large, remote data centers are becoming obsolete. The focus is on decentralized, integrated models to meet real-time urban needs. Data centers are emerging as central cultural landmarks of our digital age, akin to libraries and cathedrals in the past, symbolizing our shift to a fully digitalized society.
