MUVEs in Education | A JISC U&I Stream funded project. …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.
We can reached at the following emails: Thank You. 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 uses a unique 'tree' display system linked to a central column, pictured below: 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. He and Ryan Schultz have been pioneering “Wikitecture” for the past two years using Second Life as a proving ground. Recently Studio Wikitecture won Architecture for Humanity’s Founders Award for their submission; a health facility in Nepal. The ARCH Network - architecture and design in virtual worlds. Prototypage - Hospital of the Future. ACME - Augmented Collaboration in Mixed Environments. July 7 - 3D Architecture: Physical and Virtual Practice | Searching for local service provider in Australia was made easy. All thanks to Oneflare for providing quality e-marketing platform where thousands of service providers are always on stand-by to receive an offer from consumers. Since consumers are now turning to the internet to search for almost everything that they need.
