Databerg

A floating ocean data-centre concept for 2055, designed around remote operation, energy, safety, and cooling pressure.

Role
Foresight research and digital-twin interface concept, group project
Project type
Speculative / spatial
Status
Case study in progress

What it is

Databerg explores a floating ocean data centre in 2055: a response to the energy and cooling demands of computation. The project received Imperial College London’s Design Engineering Selected Innovation Recognition.

Contribution

I led foresight research across technology, regulation, and stakeholder needs, then developed the digital-twin interface concept for monitoring operating status, safety, and energy use remotely.

Case status

The published record currently establishes the project context and my contribution. The full case will add the source research, interface artefacts, and feasibility material as they are prepared for public sharing.
