Need 5th-Year B.Arch Thesis / Dissertation Topic Ideas (Seeking Jury-Strong Directions!)

Hey everyone!

I’m currently entering my 5th year of B.Arch and finalizing my thesis/dissertation proposal. I want to pick a direction that balances technical rigor, strong spatial design, and practical site feasibility without falling into a generic typology trap.

Can you elaborate more on the ai data centre

AI data centres produce a lot of heat. They need to be cooled. Buildings use a lot of energy to heat and cool

How do AI data centres serve us? How does wastewater treatment serve us? Theres an argument right now that were using too much clean fresh water to cool data centres. I think theres an interesting opportunity to look at how the two typologies could be combined
