The decline of white space is upon us. As AI demands skyrocket, conventional data centers face their Kodak moment. In order to thrive, companies must adapt to a server rack that individually requires building-scale power and cooling and drives the design of the facility around it.

The number of AI use cases in design is growing. To evaluate them, we need to understand the technology’s strengths and limitations. To track them, we can map them against our project workflows.

Reflections from Las Vegas. The BIM revolution offers us valuable lessons. Designers and consultants should wield them as we navigate the AI revolution.

Innovation doesn’t always involve invention. Many times, it’s more about establishing a deep connection to what’s really needed.

History shows that structural forms weren't arbitrarily used—they emerged in response to specific challenges and constraints. As designers, we should strive to do the same in our work today.
