Archivision's exclusive volume brings together the winning and finalist projects selected by the prestigious jury of renowned international architects. The judges include Patrick Lüth of Snøhetta, Fedele Canosa of Mecanoo, Alessandro Adamo of DEGW Lombardini 22 and Jelena Vicic of BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group.

The Manni Group Design Award, now in its fourth year, offered an exciting challenge in the field of sustainable data centre architecture. This year, the theme of the competition was the redevelopment of a military bunker in the Italian mountain landscape into a modern data centre. 

Download the Archivision book to find out more about the extraordinary projects that redefined the concept of a sustainable data centre in this year's Manni Group Design Award, Data Landscape.

A key criterion was the focus on the sustainability of the project, both during construction and in the long term, thanks to the use of off-site construction technologies by Manni Group and its partners, which also led to the award of 4 GOLD Mentions.

Creativity to handle a flood of data

Creativity to handle a flood of data

Metaverse, avatar, cryptocurrencies. The digital world is just as real as the material world. Whatever activity we carry out online, its ultimate and univocal implication in the empirical world will be data.
Datacentres are the material trace of the digital world. The more this world grows, the more they multiply, thus acquiring an essential value and playing a vital role in the future society.
How to make the most of the characteristics of military architecture in designing a modern data centre? How to integrate this function into the jaw dropping landscape?
These are the underlying questions of Data Landscape. This is Manni Group’s competition to imagine a new generation of datacentres that fit in the landscape to generate magnificent and iconic architectures
Datacentres are the sign of contemporaneity. They are intended to change the face of cities just the way railway stations, factories, and large buildings have always done in order to meet the needs of the time. Taking an interest in datacentres today means writing a significant chapter of the cities of tomorrow.

What does the future hold for talented architects?

The Manni Group Design Award is an opportunity to meditate on innovative construction methods such as the offsite one and on concepts of environmental impact and circular economy, with the objective of spreading an example of sustainable project-related conduct and choices in the world of architecture.
In this issue of Archivision, you can find out the views of young architects and get an insight into how they envision future buildings, and how their shape and materials can influence people and the environment. This contest fully reflects the need for sustainable building projects inspired by creativity and the desire to convey the beauty of nature enhancing local culture.
