RESEARCH

Architecture has always been a mechanic landscape. Our challenge now is to offer suitably seductive responses, to proliferate typological inventions and to generate dispositional modes of practice that see the political problems of logistics as fundamentally architectural. [78]

With the development of technology, especially in the last years, the importance of data centres such as the area occupied has increased. Many alternatives have been established, such as floating data centres or modular data centres. Along with the increasing number of data centres, architectural discussions have focused on “architecture without humans”. Throughout history, architecture has emerged as a tool for human comfort. Even if it has not always addressed the human movement as a design input, architecture should serve for a purpose to resist to the question of human being of “Is this end of architecture?”. But time is changing, architecture explores alternative tools to create and new areas to spread. [70]
