The project is an investigation and look into the future of the relationship between humans, work and technology. Throughout human history there have been different understandings of what work is, often paradigm shifting events like the industrial revolution changed this understanding. The prediction is that another event like this is coming through the advancement in quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI), leading to a decrease of work and an increase of free time.
The question emerges, what does an employement agency as an institution do if there is no work left to do and everything is given to the machine?
The institution should then be a place of interaction with the machine, and a place to enjoy the newly found free time.

The cube, placed on a concrete base between the noisy railways and the autobahn tracks at the southern entry of Karlsruhe, is essentially a massive data center, completely closed off from it’s surroundings. It’s facades power the machine through solar to the south and east and function as exhaust air in the west and north.
After the quantum computing and truss structure layer, comes the front end of the technology, accessible through a corridor containing circulation and services. The open space is defined by a series of volumes, connected with escalators. Inside the user learns how to use and communicate with the machine, on top he can spend time with leisure or relaxation. The user interacts with the machine, contributing data while benefiting from the newfound free time.
Structurally, each volume is hanging on steal ropes connected to the truss, then to the outside. The suspended structure remains the only communication to the outside world.
