Iran Chamber of Commerce Hosts 'Architecture in Metaverse’

Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture is hosting en event titled "Architecture in the Metaverse” today in cooperation with Iran-Finland Joint Chamber of Commerce and Nextvest Group.
The event is held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. via Lahzenegar platform, ICCIMA announced on its website.
Architects are in demand to design virtual buildings as a ‘digital land rush’ takes place in the emerging metaverse, according to The Architects' Journal.
The rush of brands and companies looking for a ‘metaverse presence’ is creating a cottage industry of architects and designers producing 3D models of buildings (there is less work for engineers, as the properties won't have to actually stand up).
Stavros Zachariades, an associate at Squire and Partners, is currently designing his first metaverse project. He says architects are already working with 3D software, many of which have file formats that can be uploaded to the metaverse. ‘The barrier is quickly dissolving. If you can use SketchUp, blender or Unreal Engine, you can pretty much design for the metaverse.’
