The year 2022 had several new vistas for the architecture and interiors space, even as the industry tried to come out of the shadows of the pandemic. From the metaverse to smart buildings and more, there were many defining aspects that shaped the industry. Experts weigh in.
METAVERSE
A breakthrough in design boundaries has resulted in a clean, almost monumental scale space that is encased by inclined surfaces carefully imagined and printed out of clay. The studio space of NOOR Architects Consultants is the very first architecture design studio from India (and amongst a few globally) to venture into the Metaverse. The space is also open for commissions for clients wishing to build in the Metaverse. The studio has developed a range of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to be sold to meta visitors with digital cryptocurrency. Noor Dasmesh Singh, Founder & Principal Architect, NOOR Architects Consultants, says, “Our practice studios in the Metaverse are a natural extension of our decade long studio in Chandigarh. The metaverse encourages and allows for the creation, compilation and generation of a repository of ideas which may not be fully realisable in material reality as of now, but are likely to push the boundaries of design and building construction techniques. It is highly likely that the existence of these ideas would lead to engineering solutions that would allow for their construction in material reality in the very near future.”
