With the recent Metaverse hype, let's address the elephant in the room! As more and more people dance around the subject of weather or not it is harmful for sustainably-conscious architecture designers to utilize the Metaverse, I decided to interview Oliver Lowrie, a Director at Ackroyd Lowrie, an award-winning London-based architecture practice dedicated to building the cities of the future, who is already using this technology to enhance Ackroyd Lowrie’s low-energy designs.
One of the biggest challenges the Metaverse is bringing upon us, as architects, is the topic of sustainability. We are only a few years away from 2030, the year by which globally, we are called to reach sustainability goals designed to make us better occupants of this planet. If you are serving clients in bigger urban areas I am sure you notice that a great number of them are only shopping around for low carbon or net-zero investments. How do we remain grounded in our vision of making this world a better place but also staying at the forefront of innovation and technological advancement?
