…Studio Wikitecture
Studio Wikitecture is an open group, composed of a diverse range of individuals from varying disciplines, interested in exploring the application of an open-source paradigm to the design and production of both real and virtual architecture and urban planning. Using 3-D application servers such as Opensim , RealXtend , & Second Life , our group has, over the last 3 years, been conducting ‘Wikitecture’ projects to work out the exact procedures and protocols necessary to harness a group’s collective intelligence in designing architecture. In other words, in much the same way Wikipedia enables a loose, self-organizing network of contributors to collaborate on content creation, the Studio Wikitecture group has been using these projects to work out the manner by which a group of geographical disperse individuals can come together to share ideas, edit the contributions of others, and to vote on the success or failure of proposed design iterations.
Collaborative Virtual Architecture - Wikitecture
Wikitecture is a concept very much of the moment, after many years the technology is finally in place for Ryan Schultz and Jon Brouchoud to pose the question: Can mass collaboration and collective intelligence improve the quality of architecture and urban planning? Ryan and Jon are both architects exploring the potential of systems such as Second Life for collaborative design. In their own words, Wikitecture's central aim is to explore that question by applying an open-source paradigm to the design and production of architecture and urban planning. In much the same way Wikipedia enables a loose, self-organizing network of contributors to collaborate on content creation, they have been experimenting with ways to bring together a diverse and geographically disperse community of individuals to create an architecturally noteworthy design that, in the end, is more than the sum of its parts.
Wikitecture Radical Collaboration in Architecture -
Many of the precepts that began with Open Source (collaboration, shared IP, crowdsourcing etc.) are migrating from software development into a series of ever more surprising disciplines. Today old-school institutions like Proctor and Gamble go outside of their own R&D teams to innovate new products while Best Buy opens APIs to allow outside developers to build on their catalog data. Now here comes “Wikitecture” applying these precepts to the very complex process of designing buildings. I want to dig into some of the details of Wikitecture and summarize what I think it has to teach us about collaboration. My friend Jon Brouchoud is the co-founder of Studio Wikitecture, a group dedicated to bringing collaboration into the architectural process.
The ARCH Network - architecture and design in virtual worlds
Explore your entire building before construction starts! We can transform your architectural models or just a napkin sketch into interactive, realtime 3D models that are easy for you or your clients to access from a simple website. Leave comments as you explore the model, click on interactive content to learn more about the building’s features, and use the virtual model to help sell or promote a new building.
July 7 - 3D Architecture: Physical and Virtual Practice If you were building a house, you’d hire an architect. If you were building an immersive world, would you hire one too?
