Placemaking in the metaverse

  • Summary

  • In this conversation, Arthur Mamou-Mani (Mamou-Mani Architects), Shajay Bhooshan (Zaha Hadid Architects), Jen Haugan (Nexus Studios), and Suhair Khan (open-ended design) speak about placemaking and designing for the metaverse. Who defines the metaverse? Are we excited or terrified by what comes next? Who owns these spaces?

    They discuss building virtual worlds across hybrid realities and raise new questions on the future of creativity and the ethics of technology.

    This conversation is part of open-ended design’s Technology & Design Lab in partnership with London Design Festival 2022. The mission is to connect visionary creatives and technologists, to catalyse, seed and build around new ideas. In this series, we are asking the question: “In an age of disruption and innovation: where do we go next?”

    The Technology & Design Lab has been generously supported by Google, The House of KOKO, WeTransfer, Gaia Art Foundation, and Lito.io.
