MetaPlay
MetaPlay is a 6 days long online workshop which investigates the potentials of using emerging technologies such as parametric design and modelling tools, and augmented reality / virtual reality tools to explore and rethink built environment design that is digitally conceived and experienced.
The workshop will operate as a micro design studio that will impart hands-on digital and parametric modelling skills as well as skills in using cutting edge game engine and CGI tools within AEC industry to all participants. Participants organized in groups will be expected to apply this knowledge to design and build architectural scale projects within a virtual environment by the end of 6 days.
The workshop will be curated by Avani Institute of Design, India in partnership with Design Future Foundation and Dezact, London
