Patrik Schumacher Studio's Brief
The studio investigates the metaverse as a set of interconnected 3d virtual platforms, that facilitate social and economic activity via a persistent user owned realtime platform, weaving the digital and physical worlds. The studio challenges the foundations upon which a virtual native city should be developed upon, with the goal of establishing itself as a dense, legible, informationrich environment, capable of facilitating orientation, navigation and recognition for an interaction-rich experience.
Particle-The Language of the City
We find that particle simulation is of great help to the generation of urban systems, thecreation of architectural space, and the interactive experience of users. We make theparticle a kind of intention of our meta city, which will help people to have a strongelperception of the city formation.We focus on the dynamic between intuition and the potential for kind of some form ofdata metrics synthesis. In our project, particles can be a language of our metaverse, whichwill help people to have a stronger perception of our city. Particles can come in differentcolors and shapes having different functions. lt can carry digital information as required byfunction. Particles can assemble into space, and moving particles can also guide people toexplore digital space.

The occupation of the city
Frei otto uses the concepts of 'occupying' and 'connecting' to summarisethe complex mechanisms of action in the formation of settlementsHuman settlements strive for the largest possible territory in a varietyof ways. Meanwhile, different settlements need to interact andcommunicate with each other The process of re-occupation begins withthe formation of a system of connections represented by roads, whichpromote regional imbalances and create tensions for the spread ofsettlements. Many large cities have such a tendency of spaciology.Therefore, we have also applied this relationship from occupation toconnection and then to occupation to the expansion of the metaverse city.

After multiple iterations of various permutations and combinations of loads and supports we understood how tOpos actually works and creates a mushroom like structure eventually. In this project we are working with three different structural options namely; height, span and cantilever. In the final form all these options are combined into one form. The form is rather simple with complex geometries governing the curvature of the surface.
