About 4.5 billion people across the world accessed the Internet in 2019. Every second, 63,000 searches occur on Google, over 8,600 tweets are sent, and roughly 940 photos are uploaded to Instagram. As we move toward a digital age, our economy and society continue to shift towards increased digital information management. This digital information is stored in data centers which have become ever present - they are found in nearly every sector of the economy - and are essential to the function of communication, business, academics, and governmental systems. These facilities can range from small, closet-sized rooms to massive warehouses full of thousands of servers. While we continue to embrace the digital world, the majority of us do not consider the physical ramifications data centers have. They are high-energy consuming typologies and collectively account for approximately 2% of the total electricity usage in the United States. As our country's appetite for data continues to grow, so does the demand for data centers. So, to what degree can architecture further develop the sustainability of data centers? Data centers produce heat, and a lot of it, which creates an opportunity to recapture that energy and use it to power the local communities they inhabit. Through architecture, their environmental impacts can be mitigated by transforming these high-energy consuming typologies into energy-producing resources. And how can architecture change the way we interact with these typologies? By incorporating new programs with the data, it will create a hub of technology and community spaces that reintroduce a human touch back into the otherwise mechanical and digitalized data center. As we continue to create more data, the demand for storage increases and it's time to talk about the physicality of "the cloud" and the impact it has on the communities it inhabits.
