In a world without gravity, what kind of buildings would architects design? If the need for physical shelter disappears, does the need for psychological comfort remain? Would we still gravitate towards soft and welcoming surfaces? Would we behave differently inside small virtual corners than in large open areas where all the virtual eyes are on us? In this environment we designed for Arthur Digital, we aimed to investigate these issues and uncover the promise of virtual architecture.
If we eliminate the constraints of physical reality, what is left of architecture? Is it all just a matter of aesthetic enjoyment, or are there psychological constrains that the design of a space still need to take into account?
Arthur Digital offers virtual work spaces full of co-working possibilities and packed with smart digital tools. What are the cognitive advantages for productivity and creativity when you can work inside virtual 3D space as opposed to a flat screen?
In the physical world, there are costs and limitations associated with all material goods. In construction, steel comes in sheets, glass comes in panes, and wood beams can only be that long and that strong. How about in the virtual world? It turns out, virtual materials also come with liminations, but this time in terms of mesh density and processing power. Reality always bites.
