Abstract

Teknolojik ilerlemeler, dünyamızı hızla dönüştürmekte ve insanlık tarihi ile paralel olarak evrilen mimariyi etkilemektedir. Dijital mekanların ve sanal ortamların ortaya çıkışıyla insan ve mekân arasındaki ilişki yeniden tanımlanmaktadır. İnternet etkileşimlerine dayalı yeni dünya düzeni özellikle sanal mekânları günlük yaşamın merkezine taşıyarak mekân tartışmalarını sanal etkileşim alanlarına yönlendirmektedir. Dijital alanlara olan bağlılık koronavirüs salgınından bu yana kazandığı ivmeyle belirgin hale gelmektedir. Gerçek ve sanal dünyaları birbirine bağlayan bir dijitalleşme alanı olan Metaverse, mimari üretimi etkileyen güncel bir fenomendir. Bu çalışma, Metaverse teknolojisindeki ilerlemelerin mimarlık ve mekân üretimine olan etkilerini ele almakta ve bu yeni gelişen alanda araştırmacılara farkındalık yaratmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, Metaverse içinde mimarlığın rolü sorgulanmakta ve dijitalleşmenin mekân üretimindeki avantajları ile dezavantajları incelenmektedir. Bu bağlamda, incelenen literatür tematik olarak analiz edilmiş ve dijital üretimin güçlü ve zayıf yönlerini belirlemek için SWOT Analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Çalışma, mekân üretiminin geleceği hakkında önemli ipuçları sunmakta, mimari tasarımda Metaverse ortamının nasıl kullanılabileceği ve kullanımıyla ilişkili potansiyel riskler hakkında bilgiler vermektedir.

The Impact of Metaverse on Architectural Production: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

Technological advancements are rapidly transforming our world and influencing architecture, which has evolved alongside human history. The relationship between humans and space is being redefined with the emergence of digital spaces and virtual environments. The new world order, based on internet interactions, has particularly positioned virtual spaces at the center of daily life, shifting spatial discussions towards the realm of digital interactions. Commitment to digital spaces has become more pronounced since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The Metaverse, a digitalization field connecting real and virtual worlds, is a contemporary phenomenon impacting architectural production. This study examines the effects of advancements in Metaverse technology on architecture and space production, aiming to raise awareness among researchers in this emerging field. Within the study, the role of architecture in the Metaverse is questioned, and the advantages and disadvantages of digitalization in space production are analyzed. The literature reviewed in the study was analyzed thematically, and the SWOT analysis technique was used to determine the strengths and weaknesses of digital production. The study provides crucial insights into the future of space production, offers information on how the Metaverse environment can be utilized in architectural design, and discusses the potential risks associated with its use.
