The First Metaverse Architecture Biennale

The First Ever Metaverse Architecture Biennale "Presence of the Future" 2023 Unites Global Creators to Reshape Web3 and the Metaverse

A pioneering force in the field of architecture, design and marketing, is thrilled to announce the inaugural Metaverse Architecture Biennale (MAB), "Presence of the Future" 2023.

This event will take place from September 21 to October 6, bringing together top creators worldwide to manifest the significance of architecture and design in reshaping web3 and the Metaverse as a powerful platform for business and creativity. MAB will be open to everyone for free and requires only a computer with internet access.

Inspired by the Venice Biennale and Expo, the Metaverse Architecture Biennale showcases virtual pavilions and worlds created by architects standing in the avant-garde of digital design with such names as Killa Design, LAVA, PLP, ATRIUM, Soomeen Hahm, Spaces DAO, DA!, Il Prisma, Syntaxis, SA lab, iheartblob, OBMI, Mariana Cabugueira Studios and Illusorr. Moreover 17 participants from around the world were chosen through the open call, which had more than 90 entries, to contribute their projects to the Biennale alongside architects invited by the curators. These are the names of these talented studios: Meta Architects, Q63, PROm7 (by LABVA PRO), UIC Barcelona, Untitled. by Maria Touloupou, Space Lane, Shashwat Prakhar, Dariana Andrei, AXI+, Leonardo Marchesi, Experimentarq, NESA, NTAR, MFSG6, Akash Deep Ravichandran, Ostashova_architects and The Ninjas.

The Metaverse Architecture Biennale covers two distinct platforms: Decentraland and W3rlds– every participating architect is creating one installation for each metaverse platform, which means that there would be over sixty spaces in total. Attendees will have the opportunity to teleport between these two worlds, exploring virtual pavilions, engaging in interactive exhibits, and connecting with a global community of creators. Decentraland provides a big plaza for the Biennale, resembling an expo site, where architects' pavilions would be showcased among partner pavilions and several public spaces with installations, lecture halls, and party venues. Dearch Space and Metancy agencies are responsible for the design and production of the expo-site and events that would take place there.

The true essence of the Biennale lies in its public program, scheduled from September 21st to 24th. It will feature cultural and entertainment events, including opening and closing ceremonies, lectures and public talks, Architecture Carnival, and other events. The lecture program is promising a one-of-a-kind lineup of design and Web 3 industry leaders, architects, and innovators, including representatives of Zaha Hadid Architects, UNStudio, HWKN, DressX, Artisant, MetaTrekkers, WOW Summit, Bem Builders and other companies. The topics discussed will include “From Metaverse platforms to the Metaverse”, “The Rise of Digital Fashion: What Can We Learn from the Industry in the Avant-Garde of Web3 Culture?”, “Virtual Architecture Experiments and Practice,”, “Business of Web3 and Metaverse: Trends, Expectations, and Real Cases,” and many more.

In addition to amazing architectural expositions, the event will feature pavilions by companies leading the Web 3 culture and innovation and growing its community such as Artisant, DressX, the WOW Summit, Women of The Future, and Designboom.
"We aim to redefine the role of architecture and design in shaping the future of the Metaverse. We truly believe that architecture will play an integral part in the creation of the Metaverse, as graphic design played in shaping the internet we use today," said Sergey Nadtochiy, co-organizer and curator of MAB.

With over 50,000 expected visitors, from professionals to enthusiasts, dozens of installations, and a selection of tech and design industry leaders, this event aspires to become a global platform for fostering discourse on the Metaverse and digital architecture and showcasing best practices.

The MAB Organizers team, including W3rlds, Dearch Space, and Metancy, is a leading force in the field of design and virtual events production, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation. With a deep passion for embracing emerging technologies.

Transitioning from Decentraland to the W3rlds platform is achieved using a portal resembling the MAB logo, found inside each architect's pavilion in Decentraland. To initiate the move, approach the portal, and a prompt to press the 'E' button will appear. Press it, and you're on your way!

Navigating on W3rlds platform is even easier, just follow the instructions on the screen, and in a couple of clicks you will be immersed in amazing digital worlds.
