Abstract

How will we coexist with the data infrastructure of the digital era? Nicolás Valenzuela’s thesis project explores the social role of the data center typology. His proposal highlights the strategic potential of the building’s structure as a way to minimize its footprint on the site, allow for future expansion or change, and combine a restricted access program (data center) with an educational and publicly accesible one.
