In the era of the Metaverse Renaissance, characterized by the advancements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and artificial intelligence technology, a new concept of empathy is required. STELSI recognizes the importance of architecture in representing people’s identities within the metaverse.
While food and clothing serve as avatars and items, housing plays an even more significant role in shaping our virtual existence. Architecture emerges from the dynamic interplay between humans, the environment, beliefs, and values. Architects, through this interaction, have the power to design spaces that transcend mere functionality and imbue them with profound meaning, thereby elevating our existence.
Within the expanded temporal dimension of the metaverse, architects assume a crucial role. They can manipulate dimensions, harmonize chance and inevitability, and reignite the potential for coexistence. By placing human, environmental, belief, and temporal interactions at the core of spatial and place design, architects unlock creative possibilities that enrich our existence within the metaverse.
Competition Topics
The main theme is “The metaverse world we live in”. As reality becomes more integrated, virtual, augmented, hybrid, and scalable, we feel that our reality is increasingly converging with the online world. The inaugural STELSI Metaverse Competition is an architectural 3D model contest for land corresponding to Land R/Land C on the STELSI Metaverse platform.
