The workshop of
Spatial intelligence, energy & the architecture of compute.
Each object opens a chapter of the cabinet.
Where to build. How to connect.
US Grid GIS brings power lines, substations, published projects and large-load procedures together on one map. Inspect a source, follow a milestone, export the evidence.
An open-source map with API, CSV and GeoJSON exports. Available power and connection dates require confirmation from the utility.
US Grid GIS · the map and its sources
Explore the evidence, from a network line to its public source.
What happens when a data center leaves Earth? Solar energy, heat rejection, interconnects, mass and economics set the rules.
A series of independent studies, from a falsifiable project thesis to the physical shape of a platform, engineering drawings and an interactive CAD model.
Concept studies, with assumptions and revisions documented in the manuscripts.
The physical geography of compute, from the grid to orbit.
Original manuscripts, working hypotheses and technical syntheses.
A common framework to compare terrestrial, stratospheric and orbital compute.
A falsifiable project thesis for solar-powered compute in 2029–2030.
How energy, heat rejection and interconnects determine the shape of a platform.
Orchestration, tool use, verification and stopping conditions. A literature-based design framework.
A proposed workflow connecting geography, evidence, engineering constraints and decisions.
A Phase-A concept: subsystem sizing, thermal balance and preliminary requirements.
51 concept drawings documenting geometry, interfaces and the evolution of the architecture.
Original PDFs and documented assumptions. Agentic notes draw on sources published through 2024. These works are independent studies and technical syntheses.
Why the date at which power becomes available changes the value of a site.
An essay on ontologies and data structures.
Ideas put to the test of places and encounters.
Lausanne, 24–26 March 2026

My ERATOS pitch at the close of the event, documented by the Grenoble University Space Centre.
The CSUG accountZurich, 30 June 2026 · ERATOS also appears in the archive of the 154th SICTIC Investor Day.
A demonstration, a site study, a conversation. Specific feedback on the work.
“I think what you're building is a highly useful platform with enormous potential for expandability.”“We are very impressed with the quality of the site analysis and clarity of the presentation.”“We were really excited to discover Eratos.”I draw on conversations with experienced founders and business leaders, in a personal capacity.

I build territorial intelligence tools and study the physical architecture of AI infrastructure: where to build, how to power it, and how to connect it.
