Abstract

This study explores the integration of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) into architectural education to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in the digital age. By incorporating NFT technology into the curriculum, the study aimed to foster a comprehensive understanding of digital design, intellectual property protection, and the potential of NFTs in preserving and promoting architectural heritage. The research found integrating NFTs empowered students to explore the intersection of art, technology, and commerce within the architectural realm. By transforming their designs into unique digital assets, students developed a deeper appreciation for their work’s commercial potential and the importance of intellectual property protection. The study demonstrated the role of NFTs in fostering networking opportunities, enabling students to connect with a wider audience and potential collaborators. To fully harness the potential of NFTs in architectural education, the study emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that addresses ethical, legal, and environmental considerations. Educators must instil in students a strong sense of responsibility regarding the creation and utilization of digital assets, including copyright, licensing, and the environmental impact of blockchain technology. Fostering interdisciplinary collaboration is also crucial for equipping students with the diverse skill set required to navigate the complexities of the digital landscape. By addressing these critical dimensions, architectural education can effectively prepare students to become proficient digital designers and informed participants in the evolving NFT ecosystem. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the role of technology in shaping the future of architecture and preserving cultural heritage.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, öğrencilere dijital çağda başarılı olmak için gerekli bilgi ve becerileri kazandırmak amacıyla, Değiştirilemez Jetonların (NFT’ler) mimarlık eğitimine entegrasyonunu araştırmaktadır. Çalışma, müfredata NFT teknolojisini dahil ederek, dijital tasarım, fikri mülkiyet koruması ve NFT’lerin mimari mirası koruma ve tanıtma potansiyeli hakkında kapsamlı bir anlayış geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, NFT’lerin entegre edilmesinin öğrencilere mimarlık alanında sanat, teknoloji ve ticaretin kesişimini keşfetme gücü verdiğini bulmuştur. Öğrenciler, tasarımlarını benzersiz dijital varlıklara dönüştürerek, çalışmalarının ticari potansiyeli ve fikri mülkiyet korumasının önemi konusunda daha derin bir takdir geliştirdiler. Dahası, çalışma, NFT’lerin ağ kurma fırsatlarını teşvik etmedeki rolünü göstererek, öğrencilerin daha geniş bir kitleyle ve potansiyel işbirlikçilerle bağlantı kurmasını sağlamıştır. NFT’lerin mimarlık eğitimindeki potansiyelinden tam olarak yararlanmak için çalışma, etik, yasal ve çevresel hususları ele alan bütünsel bir yaklaşıma olan ihtiyacı vurgulamaktadır. Eğitimciler, öğrencilere telif hakkı, lisanslama ve blok zinciri teknolojisinin çevresel etkisi de dahil olmak üzere dijital varlıkların yaratılması ve kullanımı konusunda güçlü bir sorumluluk duygusu aşılamalıdır. Disiplinler arası iş birliğini teşvik etmek, öğrencilere dijital ortamın karmaşıklıklarında gezinmek için gereken çeşitli beceri setini kazandırmak için de önemlidir. Bu kritik boyutlara değinerek, mimarlık eğitimi öğrencileri yetenekli dijital tasarımcılar ve gelişen NFT ekosisteminde bilgili katılımcılar olmaya etkili bir şekilde hazırlayabilir. Bu araştırma, mimarlığın geleceğini şekillendirmede ve kültürel mirası korumada teknolojinin rolü hakkındaki devam eden söyleme katkıda bulunmaktadır.
