During my second semester at RMIT, I took The studio MATTERMETA which focused on the essential aspect of virtual reality, "THE DATA CENTER." We examined new opportunities and potential developments in the field by considering various factors such as form, circulation, orientation, and the influence of technology. Additionally, we were exposed to the powerful Unreal Engine 5, using it to enhance our designs with cinematics, lighting, camera movements, and various assets. Through multiple projects and collaboration with others, I was able to expand my ideas, gain a diverse perspective, and become a more well-rounded designer.
The "City Light" project showcased our vision of what the future of data centers could look like. It aimed to reimagine data centers as dual-purpose power plants, due to the high energy consumption currently associated with data centers. With our increasing reliance on digital technology and the growing importance of data centers, "City Light" aimed to create a carbon-neutral data center.
