About resilience and the metaverse
In the "Resilience and the Metaverse: A Toolkit Approach" chapter of the "Coding Architecture" book by Springer, edited by Pierpaolo Ruttico the intricate relationship between humanity and urban ecosystems takes center stage, urging a reimagined approach to urban planning for the environmental era. Through the lens of computer science and the emerging data economy, it navigates the potential of the metaverse and blockchain technology in reshaping city models.
Grounded in Lebbeus Woods’ visionary reconstruction theories, the chapter presents a pioneering metaverse-based model for rebuilding after calamities, illustrated by a compelling case study. It probes the model's strengths and explores its limits, setting the stage for a transformative vision of future cities.
The exploration delves into the role of technology in urban design while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of preparedness, resilience, and sustainable development within the architectural domain.
Metamorphosis: a digital approach to tranforming communities through photogrammetry and metaverse
This research employs a digital strategy to counter rural population decline and urban migration by integrating drone photogrammetry, metaverse, and blockchain technology. The focus is creating detailed 3D models of the settlements, which are subsequently optimized for metaverse platforms such as Voxels and Mona. Voxels facilitates participatory design, utilizing voxel parcels and Rhino- Grasshopper to involve all the stakeholders for renovation design work. Mona transforms parameterized projects into an immersive virtual experience, fuelled by blockchain technology, providing non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces and economic transitions. These virtual and real realms serve purposes such as decision-making, cultural preservation, economy generation, and virtual tourism, fostering rural revival, virtual economy, and digital representation of real-world environments.
