Type: Open

 

Participants of this competition are asked to create a visionary concept for an urban block in the Metaverse. This time we challenge designers to reinterpretate and design what could be a city in the virtual world, by taking advantage of the absence of real-life rules or restrictions such as gravity, structural stability, climatic issues, or physical laws. On the other hand, new rules will apply.

Designers should forseee which those rules will be and how to play with them. Designers are free to explore in a critical way the different interpretations of such topics, from practical approaches to more dystopian/utopian scenarios.

The “Meta City” is a design competition developed to explore the creative potential of architectural design through one of the most iconic architectural drawings: the axonometric projection. This competition is an opportunity to experiment with how an axonometric can communicate a project today. What kind of design choices can better respond to the issues raised in the brief and how can one drawing communicate the concept in the most effective way? Participants have only one axonometric projection to answer those questions.
