PROJECT: LIDA Duc Vu

Would it be interesting if we can change or merge one highly secure private space with/ or into a public space?

Curated data, online informations, there only purpose is to serve the big corporations, and politians The data that we created being used to chain us into their machine

Day by day, we only cared about what are the news online today? We watch it, listen to it but never trully question about its legitimacy As long as our brain is satisfy with the random knowleges we receive, we’re happy. We’re becoming more ignorant about our surrounding environment Little that we know, the data that we use and learn and hear online everyday is one of the major cause to the destruction of our Earth, due to the amount of energy a data centre consume to store data and air conditioning

Ancient Alexandria library the city of Alexandria was once home to the world’s greatest archive of knowledge. Established by an exiled Athenian statesman the “universal library” of Alexandria was a project to house the knowledge of classical civilization; building on it, by rendering its accessible.

the data are not filtered or curated to serve any corporation agendas Area for the public to have a conversation, study

Security Display data Projecting data, researches online to the real world for potential patrons which data is private which data is public?

Area for presentation exhibit researches

build a community

shared yours ideas to the public, or be able to collab with other inventors within the community

Can private data being display in real life for the public?

we already shared so much or our daily life/ private data online, why can’t it be presented in the real world? same information diffrent presentation?

PROJECT: LIDA The aim for the project is to create a data centre as a future form of library A cross-programming between a data centre with a library situated on a heritage site of John Darlingand & Son Mills A merging of a private with a public space, creating a sense of transparent, allowing certain access for the public to a (used to be) secured, highly private space. Bringing back the idea of the ancient Alexandria Library, where data/ information/ knowledges are created and used by the public, by the surrounding community to create new inventions, create new conversations, and build a better world.

WHAT IS TYPE? “To recognise emerging type-organisations, a new classification system for buildings is suggested, one based not on function but rather on a consideration of the effects of urban geography, formal, economic and historical influences as manifestations of the cultural and social context”

BUILDING AS A LANSCAPE "Lausanne’s topography has transformed the relation of streets to buildings, indeed the whole notion of urban space. In some parts of the city, streets are suspended and buildings buried in the ground. Rooftops act as ground floors while the piano nobile1 can be found on any level. Buildings function as vertical passageways and bridges as multistory crossings. The practical irrelevance of a consistent datum place has also transformed the very concept of urbanism in this city." "engage with the public realm by pulling some part of the surface of the city over or onto the building, or by distributing it vertically through the building as a series of elevated plazas, gardens or arcades. Public space and landscape become hybridised with other programmatic elements of the building." "The proliferation of buildings that create new terrain through the folding and creasing of surfaces, or the piling up of blocks to create artificial peaks in the urban context, signals a desire to treat urban space as geological matter and to blur the boundary between nature and culture. And it is not only the outward form of the mountain that is visible in these new projects but also the building blocks of geology as well: rocks or stones strewn in the landscape, earth mounds, craters and crevasses, the aggregation of crystalline units."

Our idea for the data centre’s typology are based on the fluidity of the natural landscape, the constant flow and changing of information on the internet can help to open up a private, fortified data centre to the public realm. Creating a fluid, dynamic and always changing form that can engage with the public, with the cities, with its surround environment and landscape, but also in its ever changing and collective spacial qualities and programs. The formal qualities of the data centre at the moment, did satisfy our target a bit in someway, it’s a creation between join data from the natural landscape and Bitcoin price chart, as a result a wavey, flowy form, that open up the space for the public. But the form is quite open, lacking connection with its surrounding, or haven’t really response to its surrounding. Question about how the public can actually interact with the form itself, for example be able to walk on top of the ‘shed’?, it looks nice but how can the public interact with it? Idea of a hidden private data centre within the landscape? in side a cave? maybe?

The spacial quality has some potential to explore more. The void under the ‘shed’ is quite large, has a lot of potential for more programs, it’s a quite linear in its form? Thinking how the function and spacial void type can be spread more within the form?

“Buildings are increasingly called upon to produce an illusion of freedom coupled with the reality of control and surveilance”

“Consciously or not, Levi-Strauss echoes the romantic vision of Hugh Ferriss, who , in the late 1920s, had also rendered the city as an aggregation of crystalline geological forms. Unlike t he traditional city of squares and public spaces- places of collective sociabilityFerriss’ dramatic views of an imagined Manhattan depict a mineral city cut through by streets in mid-air and disconnected from the traditional urban ground. This is a space of pure exteriority, where the individual, alone in the city, confronts an unforgiving urban landscape, much as the solitary explorer confronted the rugged landscape of the American West”

“As seemingly unforeseeable spatial and organisational differences are revealed, a variety of new typological possibilities emerge”

Combining two or more progams, whereby a required spatial configuration of program A contaminates program B and B’s possible configuration. The new program B may be extracted from the inherent contradictions contained in program A, and B’s required spatial configuration may be applied to A. America city has been field-like: open and porous to the landscape With new technologies, and an expaned scale of intervention, new urban typologies have emerged: vast enclose stadia; simulated streets and interconnected urban shopping malls; labyrinthine transit nodes; artificial ski hills and surfing beaches; atria and gardens extending high into the air. The strong seperation of exterior and interior dissappears, and with it, the sense of architecture as a man-made artifact sittuated within a natural lanscape.

MIDSEM - Round table crit

Do we have to eat salt in order to taste the saltiness?

Japanese researchers have developed computerised chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets. Co-developed by Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita and beverage maker Kirin Holdings Co. (2503.T), the chopsticks enhance tastes using electrical stimulation and a mini-computer worn on a wristband. The device uses a weak electrical current to transmit sodium ions from food, through the chopsticks, to the mouth where they create a sense of saltiness, said Miyashita.

“As a result, the salty taste enhances 1.5 times,” he said. Miyashita and his lab have explored various ways that technology can interact with and stimulate human sensory experiences. He’s also developed a lickable TV screen that can imitate various food flavours. The taste-enhancing chopsticks may have particular relevance in Japan, where the traditional diet favours salty tastes. The average Japanese adult consumes about 10 grams of salt per day, double the amount recommended by the World Health Organisation.

Excess sodium intake is related to increased incidence of high blood pressure, strokes and other ailments.

Do we have to build things, see things, touch things to know what is real? what is possible?

What if we could simply trick our senses?

CONCEPT A DATA CENTRE IS NOT JUST A DATA CENTRE The project look at what if the data centre could be more than just a data centre. Do we have to build the ‘what if ’ when there could be so much potential online, in the metaverse. Using the data centre as a server host, create a different seperated world, a different possibility, a public space, exhibiting datas, arts, researches, allow gatherings, trade and investment in new technology to help develop reality, creating a meta conventional centre.
