SmartHub: Sustainable Data Centers for Smart Cities

Technology is continuously advancing, opening new horizons for the development of humanity. From simplifying daily life to conducting complex global operations, virtual data transmission is a part of almost every aspect of our lives. However, it still requires significant physical space, leading to the emergence of a new building typology – data centers. These large buildings consume enormous amounts of energy to power servers and process data. Today, virtual space leaves a physical mark in the real world. This trend presents an opportunity for architecture and urban planning to respond to this new reality, offering more compact arrangements and more sustainable ecological solutions.
