The Future of Data Centres: Industrialisation, AI, and Sustainable Energy
Developing versions for other cities is also a possibility.. A Step Towards a Truly Digital Planning Approach.
Design to Value.Have you ever spent much time thinking about why things are the size they are?.I have often come back to contemplating this topic when reading about mitochondria.
We have mitochondria in all our cells, they convert carbohydrate molecules into packets of energy (ATP) that can then be used directly by our cells to function.ATP powers muscle cell contraction, protein building, cell replication.. To go down a rabbit hole briefly, these fascinating organelles are the vestiges of ancient bacteria which somehow became intertwined with the larger eucaryote cells of animals and plants.They have their own DNA which is only passed on through the female line.
The way they produce ATP is by becoming self-charging batteries of 180mV which drives all the processes in a cell.. To get back to scale; do we have one of these in each cell?The answer is no, we have a few 100,000 per cell.
Over millions of years of evolution although much has changed, they have not changed in size, because the size and structure represent a sweet spot for their function.
You could say that we have learned similarly in the building of batteries; replicating and combining small cells works much better than trying to create large cells.“You have to think of things like systems architecture, and you have to understand things like flow.
These are guys who live, breathe, eat, drink and sleep manufacturing, who understand how to apply it to these spaces.Right now in the construction business, you have lots of these contractors opening up fab shops, and they're not going to manufacturing consultants to figure out how to set up a fab shop.
It’s like, wait.Why wouldn’t you do that?”.
