Data processing center to be constructed as a skyscraper

Valeria Mercuri and Marco Merletti from Italy offer the project Data Tower. The proposal envisions a sustainable skyscraper in Iceland designed for Internet servers.

The tower is conceived as a giant 3D motherboard with a cylindrical shape. On the external façade are fastened all the hardware components, while the internal part is empty. This void is a technical space with a double function: first, it is the main air duct of the cooling system, and second it is a space where the pods can be moved to the ground floor, during the maintenance and the upgrade phases.
