Data Center as Public Interior

Data Center as Public Interior

This project reimagines a historic industrial building through adaptive reuse, transforming it into an open and experiential data center. Instead of remaining a sealed and inaccessible facility, the design integrates public programs within a secure digital infrastructure.

Organized through layers of coexistence, server rooms, exhibition spaces, and co-working areas are arranged by gradients of access, visibility, and environmental control. Solid and permeable boundaries allow visual continuity while maintaining operational security.

By exposing and interpreting hidden systems, the project transforms digital infrastructure into spatial experience. The result is a hybrid interior where technology and public life intersect—repositioning the data center as a civic and cultural environment.
