End: 2022-07-19T18:00:00-05:00

We will be talking about the role of architecture as an experience, immersiveness, interactivity, and a new hybrid model that is emerging at the intersection of our physical and virtual realities!

"Everything that we design was designed for a purpose. But sometimes the purpose changes, but we refuse to budge from the original design"

The Metaverse is a multidimensional shared experience that has already begun. Different aspects through the creation of new virtual worlds both in the context of gaming, and other social venues and experiences.

How and where is it likely to evolve. It’s important we think of it not as a destination, but a journey or process. This is because it’s important to acknowledge the beginnings of the Metaverse are already here, "we are just experiencing it in 2D"

The main speaking event will be on Zoom and our community networking will precede that on NOWHERE 3D.
