METALETO 2022
ZODCHESTVO 2022. The project "Metaleto", created by the students of our group with Natalia Samoilova and Anna Karpova of the Department of PROM MARCHI as a continuation of the session held at the last festival dedicated to the impact of Metaverses on the transforming habitat and the prospects of the architectural profession in connection with these changes. This time we moved to the practical plane and prepared an extremely interesting project based on one of the most advanced decentralized metaverses - Decentraland, forming in its environment a meta-space united by a common conceptual idea based on human emotions, which are an integral part of the Impression Economy.
The project "SVET" seems to penetrate inside a person, confronting him with his own emotions in a state of detached observer.
I suggest listening to a speech and, even more interestingly, a post-presentation discussion with the audience, which very clearly demonstrated the gap between the established traditionalist consciousness and the emerging new world, before which there is very little time left. In fact, today we must accept this challenge and begin the process of integrating Metaverses into the real world, including by means of architecture, without which we risk losing all the achievements of the profession as an art of influencing society. This choice is akin to an existential one, although, at first glance, it seems to be just a game. But no, it's not a game, it's life, our LIFE!
