Description

We believe that there is only one decentralized metaverse that unites all of the platforms, technologies and communities. To emphasize this idea we’ve decided to run the event on two platforms simultaneously, in Decentraland a massive neighborhood would be developed specially for this event and from there you could teleport to a new world in W3rlds to explore even more amazing spaces. - huge exhibition space in two metaverse platforms - architectural competition open to creators with any experience - more than 20 pavilions by the creators from all over the world - expositions by well-known architects and designers - lectures and public talks - thousands of amazing people to meet during the event The event will consist of several pavilions designed by well-known architectural studios such as Atrium, SpacesDAO, SA lab, Illusor, Dewans and others as well as emerging designers selected by a contest. In addition to this there will be lectures, discussions, NFT-exhibitions, art-installations and more, so anyone with interest in architecture and design could enjoy the event. MANIFESTO We believe that as graphic designers have created the internet we’ve been using for the last decades, the Metaverse would be created by architects and designers. The tittle of Biennale "Presence of the future" refers to the name of the first Venice Architecture Biennale - one of the greatest events to celebrate architecture and design. "Presence of the past'' was actually the name of the 1980 Biennale directed by Paolo Portoghesi who has managed to organize an event of global significance bringing together great architects from around the world. Nowadays, more than forty years later our perception of the world and design approach have changed dramatically, digital design tools became the main instruments and created a totally new language and, some might say, in our society and culture Postmodernism has been replaced by Metamodernism (whatever that means after the word Meta has become a brand). All in all, "Presence of the future" aims to recall the power of architecture to reinvent the modernity and formulate the new quality of life in the immersive virtual space. In the moment when we are witnessing the creation of a new game-changer in the way we communicate, entertain and collaborate we challenge the architects and designers to envision our future in the built form and take the responsibility for it. We believe that this exhibition would bring the life-changing power of architecture and design to the metaverse and would set up a new positive vector for its development. OPEN CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS 1st stage: open call for submissions Candidats will send 3 visualisations of 3d-modeled architectural object reflecting the theme of the Biennale “Presence of the Future” and 200-500 words description of the concept. The jury would rate all projects by several criteria such as concept, formal / spatial complexity, atmosphere (use of light, textures, landscape). The function of the space is not limited: event hall, showroom, maze etc. 2st stage: finalists projects realisation All finalists are guaranteed to receive a grant from the organizers to produce the final spaces for the event. All submitted projects are checked by the technical team and placed on site of the event prior to its opening. On the final day of the event the jury announces the best project of the Biennale, its creators are invited to become the jury of the next event.

## WHY DAO? We decided to ask DAO for several reasons. First and foremost, we want to make this event global for the entire Metaverse and one that will help secure Decentraland as the leading blockchain digital world, which is why we need the official support of Decentraland as the main partner of Architecture Biennale. Secondly, on the way to building such an important thing we do not want to depend only on paid sponsorship and commercials, so we ask the DAO for a grant that would cover the costs of a serious work related to event development both at the organization level and at the level of 3D modeling and SDK dev. This request is not in vain posted in the community category because the biennale is directly aimed at developing the metaverse community, generating discussion in it and motivating creators to create, which is most importantly. That's why we really need feedback from you - anyone who is reading this now! ## WHY RESUBMITING PROPOSAL? We are resubmitting the proposal for several reasons. Main one is that during past submit the community showed interest in the project and we worked out important clarifications that were pointed out to us during the discussion and thank everyone who gave feedback! We have also prepared a kind of MVP - Embassy of Architecture Biennale. We describe it in detail in the comments below. Another reason of resubmitting is that we cannot move the dates of event much, since there are a considerable number of agreements with partners, participants (confirmed and potential) and a large shift in the deadlines can lead to difficulties. Also when planning the timing of the public part of the event we adjusted to world architectural events in order to get into a period of increased audience involvement. We are aware of the pausing of grants and amendments to the rules of proposals and vesting. Metancy supports this initiative, especially everything related to more transparent reporting updates to the DAO. We think it's fair and respectful to the community. We promise to provide information about the work done and the distribution of allocated funds in the most detailed and accurate monthly updates. ## WHATS NEW? We took into account the feedback of the community during the last submit and made several important additions and changes: A. Significantly detailed the budget breakdown and scheduled it for each month with explanations B. Added a list of studios that have already confirmed participation and support the project at the moment C. We stopped unreasonably predicting the number of visitors, now we provide data on audience coverage with faith in the figures that we indicated earlier =) D. We announced the opening of the Embasy of Architecture Biennale which will take place in est. 5 days **We will share here additional information and updates on the progress of preparation for the Biennale**
