Traditional data centres consume huge amounts of energy, but give very little back. With the number of centres growing, we explore how Norwegian architecture practice Snøhetta is embarking on a project to transform them into energy-producing resources for local communities. Also, smart home technology is gaining an increasing presence in our homes, with varying levels of design accompanying it. As work and lifestyles change, how will our future homes and vehicles adapt? We find out.
Plus, we look at some of the latest projects to break ground, as well as those that are finally ready to open and discover some of the key trends for restaurant design in the coming year
For all this, and much more, take a look at the latest issue of Design & Build Review.
