Machine landscapes : architectures of the post-anthropocene
The most significant architectural spaces in the world are now entirely empty of people. The data centres, telecommunications networks, distribution warehouses, unmanned ports and industrialised agriculture that define the very nature of who we are today are at the same time places we can never visit. Instead they are occupied by server stacks and hard drives, logistics bots and mobile shelving units, autonomous cranes and container ships, robot vacuum cleaners and internet-connected toasters, driverless tractors and taxis. This issue is an atlas of sites, architectures and infrastructures that are not built for us, but whose form, materiality and purpose is configured to anticipate the patterns of machine vision and habitation rather than our own. We are said to be living in a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, in which humans are the dominant force shaping the planet. This collection of spaces, however, more accurately constitutes an era of the Post-Anthropocene, a period where it is technology and artificial intelligence that now computes, conditions and constructs our world. Marking the end of human-centered design, the issue turns its attention to the new typologies of the post-human, architecture without people and our endless expanse of machine landscapes.

Research on Impact of IoT on Warehouse Management
Automation and digitisation are the driving force of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Industrial revolutions led to the mass production of goods, which increased the need for modern warehouses. Every year, the operation of warehouses becomes increasingly more complicated due to the increasing abundance of goods, thus the usual warehouse management strategies are no longer suitable. In order to cope with huge product flows, modern innovations should be used more extensively to manage these processes. Successful management will help provide quality service to rapidly changing business sectors. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology designed to process large amounts of data with maximum efficiency in real time. This technology can facilitate the implementation of smart identification, tracking, tracing, and management using radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared sensors, global positioning systems (GPS), laser scanners, and other detection tools. Such innovations as IoT have made a significant impact on warehousing operations. The aim of IoT is to perform administrative work, i.e., to efficiently manage warehouse data. IoT can be used to monitor and track goods, forecast demand trends, manage inventory, and perform other warehouse operations in real time. The key elements of a warehouse are sales and customer satisfaction. Implementing IoT improves financial performance, work productivity, and customer satisfaction. However, innovation requires additional investment in, for instance, implementation and maintenance. It is necessary to investigate how warehouse elements such as inventory accuracy or order processing time are affected by the internet of things in companies of different sizes. Research on the impact of IoT on warehouse management focuses on IoT advantages, disadvantages, mitigation risks, and the use of IoT in warehouses. The aim of this work is to research the impact of IoT on warehouse management in companies of different sizes and to determine whether the costs and benefits of IoT differ in the same scenario. As a result, the conceptual model for the adoption of IoT measures in warehouse companies was created, and its suitability was assessed by experts.

To B or Not to B
The biggest mistake you can make in this situation is to ask an engineer \"Can you do this?\" because the answer will always be \"Of course I can!\" Many love a challenge and these questions are what makes their job enjoyable. The right question is \"Should you do this?\" which puts a different perspective on the situation. Applications Pearson would describe as \"borderline\" for the use of carbon dioxide include supermarket refrigeration from a central pack, water chillers, large distribution warehouses in cascade with an ammonia plant, large distribution warehouses with transcritical carbon dioxide and spiral freezers. The purchasing decision is often based purely on first cost--a lower capital investment wins the day without sufficient consideration of other factors. The borderline solution might be cheaper, but it has a lower seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) so it will cost more to run every year. Or perhaps it is more difficult to maintain in good condition, and the SEER will gradually drop as time goes by. The system might be more expensive than the traditional approach, but offers an \"environmental\" tag so is seen as worth the extra cost. However, it is unfamiliar to the technicians who are used to working on the older plants and find it difficult to adapt to these new ideas. The result could just be suboptimal, inefficient running or, in the worst case, it could result in catastrophic system failure.
