Dance Center Diagram 2083
With the spaces being linear, a dance studio would best fit this building years later. Features studio areas for larger dance classes of any media and smaller studio spaces for individuals to practice their routines.
UI Data Center Diagram 2103
Inspired by adult animation: Pantheon...A UI (Uploaded intellegence) data center acts as a base for the people whose brain information has been uploaded into to the cloud. Their information is then stored into a hard drive that are stored in data banks in the server room. Features electric room, power rooms for the server banks, cooling room so the hard drives dont over heat, storage for extra equipment or maintanance and network room, for internet connection.

Elevations
Material: Black Metal Sheets & mahogany Wood. Brutalist style. This material was chosen based on the Last Program, The UI data center. Since 98% of the world was uploaded in the show, most of the buildings were made with mostly one monochramatic material, Since there was no one in the real world to judge the decisions made.
