Living with Data Part 2 Project 2025 Lloyd Wyn Jackson Kingston University Kingston | UK We are competing with data for resources. In London, the energy grid is increasingly unable to support both new housing and the rapid growth of data centres, leading us to cases where house building is being blocked in favour of data centres. As data centres become an ever-greater part of our built environment, can we reframe them, not as an inevitable spectre encroaching on our cities, but as a civic asset?Set in Camden, Living with Data proposes a new model for housing, one that integrates domestic life with digital infrastructure by using the waste heat from data centres to heat homes. It offers a response to the housing crisis while rethinking how we live alongside the systems that power our digital lives. The project proposes a data centre which is publicly owned, forming part of a new digital commons that serves the communities it sits within. Living with Data reclaims both the physical space of the city and its digital space- in one breath. Tutor(s)
