Autonomous: Infinite Time-space Each era has its own iconic building type. The Dream Commission created the church, Modernism created the factory, the last decade has seen the creation of art and museums, and the data center will be the new building type that defines the new culture of our time. In our vision of the future, data centers will be fully automated, with different functions, appearances, and constituencies. And the data center will each have LEDs that light up when it is accessed, and faint flashes that flicker as data is written, and databases that twitch like a forest of fireflies. To achieve our ideal of full automation, drones will replace humans as the ones serving the data center, bringing it into a more efficient rhythm and eliminating the need for manual labor. Drones are like an expanded consciousness; they can inspect infrastructure, gather information, assemble things, move quickly and deliver supplies. When we give human logic and purpose to drones, it's a shifting relationship where drones replace humans and can even go beyond what humans can do in three dimensions with millimeter accuracy, while humans only need to design specific architectures that provide routes for drones. This is why architecture is unhuman. In an efficient machine landscape, humans are no longer going to be the first important player, the human body is no longer the primary scale of space, instead the machines that occupy the space now define the architectural parameters that contain them, the form and materiality of architecture is configured to predict the logic of machine perception and comfort, not human logic, in short the human body has been the inefficient aggressor, the algorithmic complexity and efficiency of machine scale is a danger zone for humans. But the entire data center still has a space that belongs to human activity, and that is the office, where perhaps one person will visit from time to time to repair or extract data. We preserved the vegetation of the site, which are the remnants of the area's operation over the years, representing the trees associated with the factory's establishment period. The locals want to turn the whole triangular space into a park or community garden, with the buildings concentrated in the middle, and the surrounding trees and open space can be designed as a park, while the vegetation surrounding not only will deter human access, but also will reduce the noise of the database operation, for the surrounding residents to the distance from the residential area is also maximized. This experiment allows us to think about and explore how a fully automated center is part of a culture with and without humans, and how this cultural shift will change the world. Perhaps fully automated data centers signal the end of human-centered design, as we chart an era of hard-drive-centered 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; we need to understand our technology, which will resonate through a far-reaching history and even deeper into the future to produce systems.

In our previous studies, we explored many different architecture typologies and spatial, formal qualities. Taking these concepts and qualities and assembling them logically. Unhuman, as the biggest point of contention in the concept, leads to the qualities extracted from the previous study to integrate them.
In the zoo typology a large number of open spaces, pavilions and fences separating humans from animals are extracted. In the data center, the large amount of open space provides the opportunity for natural cooling of the data center, the pavilions are converted into solar panels on the roof of each building, and the isolation panels serve as substations for each database.
The formal qualities in the music hall a r e e x t r a c t e d and the space is split up to act as different 'collectors' to assemble many different types of data. The formal qualities of the entire data center are dispersed, and modules are placed in them in a decentralized manner, depending on the area and the situation of the site.
Taking the conveyor belt out of a factory typology, which is one of its primary qualities, blends the form into the data center. Here transmission is no longer about transporting goods in the traditional sense, physical transportation. It is transporting water, information, routes and invisible flight paths in the data center.
The design of the landscape comes from the perspective of the data hall, through offset, parallel and random intersections, r e s u l t i n g i n a s p e c u l a t i v e landscape. The procedural access and construction, and the process itself become the ornament of the landscape, this decision-making design makes it more meaningful that the entire landscape blends with the site, which looks like the building and landscape are together.

Time-space
The virtual concept of time exists in our project. Time becomes the dimension of space, time and space interact with each other and space becomes fluid. Space is divided into slow space and fast space, and in the slow space, the pressure from time is relieved. For the data center, it is a high-speed space where time never stops.
16
Transport
Transport is one of the most important parts of a data center, where the meaning of transport changes a bit, and in a highly autonomous unmanned data center, data is transported by itself. Drones play an important role in this, transporting and working in the virtual routes built by the system. For the data center's own system operations, the water cooling system physically cools the entire data center by transporting water and circulating it.
17
Unhuman
Data center as a sophisticated and rigorous space, fully automated environment, unhuman workplace is more appropriate. The maintenance and management of databases can operate better and more efficiently in intelligent algorithms. Drones will replace humans in servicing data centers, bringing them into a more efficient rhythm and eliminating the need for manual labor.

Shifting Relationship
Shifting relationship: drones replace humans and can even outperform them working in three dimensions with millimeter accuracy, the human body is no longer the primary scale of space, instead the machines occupying the space now define the architectural parameters that contain them, the form and materiality of architecture is configured to predict the logic of machine perception and comfort, not the logic of humans. The human body is the inefficient aggressor, the algorithmic complexity and the efficient machine scale are the danger zone for humans.

Civic park Data centre
During the site survey, we realized that there are many residential areas around, so we kept all the existing plants, built the data center on this basis, and used the density of trees to isolate the data center from the civic park next to it. Use the abandoned railway tracks next to it as the structure of the infrastructure to reduce the construction cost. The factory existing on the site is repurposed as one of the data hall.

FUNCTION OF EA
A tree-structured (hierarchical) data model for some business relationships as interface and storage, the basic relational data model represents the database as a collection of tables, where each table can be stored as a separate file.
Document older, historically called legacy data models, and layered models. Data type.
Centralized, centralized Multiple users can be supported, but the database resides entirely on a single computer site. The actual database and various software are distributed across multiple sites connected by a computer network. One is a mobile phone, and the other is mainly used for PCs. The system supports a large number of users, and can also be used for multi-user systems to support concurrent multi-users. (data about games or ins or google)

The program database, with an associated onetime record language, must be embedded in the host programming language. as an extension to the language. It provides commands for locating records directly, and the language also handles many other considerations, such as the currency of the record type and collection type, which are defined by the current position of the navigation process in the database.

In the process of programmatic experimentation, we look at different existing building types to find a new order and architectural ecology. What can become of the qualities of architecture such as form and space? We think outside the solid-state and constantly try and imagine everything that is possible.
