People are constantly confronted with the devastating impact that human activity has had on habitats. Despite attempts to reconnect with the natural world, regrettably people have yet to make any remarkable changes. To be truly ecologically sustainable, societies must begin with the abandonment of the romantic concept of nature. The project poses this question: could a better architecture be created if the segregation between forests, digital data, and humans is befogged?

This project reimagines a ‘sustainable’ system of data storage and posits a future design approach involving a machine landscape that comprises of servers and computers. 'Datascape' envisions a new understanding of the juxtaposition between the 'cloud' and ecology within our built environment. Through this, the philosophical shift from deterministic control to coexistence is symbolically represented as a ‘mesh’.

The architecture is fabricated to exhaustively embrace a data driven process of metamorphosis. Data includes digital data being archived as well as that which reacts to the environment, such as sunlight, soil quality, altitude, humidity, all of which choreographs the process of growth. The project redefines the anthropocentric relationship between humans, machine and landscape, and pursues the amelioration of both physical and psychological tranquility within inhabitants.
