About this Event
Join us for a dynamic panel discussion that will dissect the forces rapidly transforming the data center landscape. As the backbone of the digital economy, data centers are at a critical inflection point, facing intense pressure around sustainability, urban integration, and rapidly evolving technology. This conversation will cover these topics and explore future possibilities, framed by CLUAA’s “Farm Park” exhibit at the Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB). Our distinguished panelists represent architecture, academia, construction, law, and civic leadership, and they will explore how innovative design, policy, and technology are converging to create the next generation of data infrastructure. This is a must-attend session for anyone looking to understand the future potential of data centers.
Panelists include: Michael Fassnacht, Clayco; Clare Lyster, CLUAA; and Graham Grady, Taft. Moderated by Kimberly Dowdell, Amrize.
Made possible by Amrize, Taft, and Chicago Architecture Biennial.
