How will architects of the future work in the metaverse?

Around April, the avant-garde horse worker Ma Yansong announced that he wanted to become an architect in the game world. Although making games is similar to building architecture, it also reminds us whether architects in the physical world can really go to the virtual world. Look for opportunities here, especially now that the virtual residence marshouse has been auctioned for a high price of more than 3 million, and the virtual land has also been auctioned for tens of millions. There are also metaverse real estate developers like republicroom, and even Zaha Both the firm and OMA are beginning to design the virtual design field. So friends metaverse really don't know about it?

Although the concept of the metaverse is very popular, there is still no generally accepted definition, but the metaverse can still be described as an immersive and interactive shared digital space created by fusion and extended reality technology. In the metaverse, human-machine symbiosis is realized through technologies such as AI and the Internet of Things. Humans can become digital human beings. Space-time expansion is realized through technologies such as extended reality and digital twin. The physical space system is broken. Through blockchain, WEB3.0 , NFT realizes economic value-added, is it easy to reminiscent of "Ready Player One" and Oasis? Similar but different.

In this part of the immersive social experience, the Metaverse is really an oasis. But Oasis is a cyberpunk existence, and the metaverse we hope to create is to connect and interact with the real society, and it is used to expand the boundaries of physical space. That is to say, the metaverse includes a purely virtual part, as well as a part where the virtual and reality overlap. In addition to being connected to reality, the metaverse must be decentralized, it must not be dictated by one company and one country, and the metaverse must exist forever.

Just like the current Internet, one company and one country must not have the final say, and the metaverse must exist forever, just like the current Internet, the collapse of the entire metaverse cannot be caused by the collapse of one company. So now there are several relatively large metaverse platforms, such as Roblox, Decentraland, and TheSandbox, which are known as the first shares of the metaverse. We can buy a room on these platforms, design our own furniture and artworks, and we can build our own house. In the Metaverse, some houses will be built into museums, art galleries, cinemas, and playgrounds for people to carry out public activities, just like the real world. So do you feel the opportunity?

We architects can give full play to their expertise and build houses, art galleries, museums, and movie theaters for others in the metaverse. It looks like you are playing games, but you are actually showing your architectural talents and earning money by the way. some money. Then not only can we help others build houses, we can also design works in the metaverse and create our own digital assets.

So the question is, how did our creations in the metaverse change from digital content to our digital assets? In today's Internet world, one of our models and a drawing is stolen. It is really normal. As long as a simple copy is made, the stolen model is no different from my model, and it is difficult for me. Prove that the copyright and ownership of this model is my own, then our model can only be called digital content, it does not have the property of becoming an asset, so in order to make your digital content truly belong to you, NFTs are created.

NFTs are too popular, and every time they go out of the circle, they are accompanied by a lot of scary money. For example, the NFT of James' dunk video was sold for a high price of $208,000, and the NFT of the Twitter founder's first tweet was sold. Out of 2.9 million US dollars, so everything can be NFT.
