“…Поступово такі ідеї стали трансформуватись у спільне творення просторової матеріальності, зокрема й у віртуальному (мета) вимірі, що отримало назву "е-урбанізму" (Di Prete, Crippa, Lonardo, 2018). Поступово також почали трансформуватись і вдосконалюватись поняття "метаурбанізму", яке спочатку означало своєрідну альтернативну реальність, призначену для туристів (Castello, 2007), а згодом метаверсне середовище (Anon, n. d.).…”

The article examines some problems of ideas transformation on architectural form in the conditions of metaverse space. Some factors that, in this regard, affect the change of design priorities is considered. The connection of the emerging new architectural language with the worldview of deconstructivism and postmodernism is traced. The purpose of the article is to trace the transformation of ideas about architectural form in the context of the development of the metaverse space. On the basis of the analysis of projects created by well-known architectural firms for the metaverse environment, two content types of data related to form-creation were selected; they can be conventionally called perceptual and evolutional. Perceptual changes are understood as changes in morphological characteristics that are associated with the disappearance of climatic and gravitational conditions limitations that determined the key parameters of architecture in the real environment. Evolutional type refers to the connection of metaversal morphology with the historical ontology of architectural form in general. Within the framework of the perceptual type of data, the following form regularities are highlighted: a) significant inertia of traditional gravitational statics; b) experiments with the absence of fencing and insurance structures; c) experiments with the illumination of space, which can simultaneously exist in different light modes; d)lack of binding of material imitation to its physical properties; e) tendency to unique attractiveness. Within the limits of the evolutional type, premonitions regarding metaversal form in such tendencies as postmodernism and deconstructivism are considered. In the context of the first, such features as the relativization of time and the understanding of space as a set of events oriented to the communicative effect are highlighted. In the context of the second – attention to astatic and agravating masses, individualization of choice and perception of architecture is emphasized not only as a language where the designer is the “speaker” and the user is the interpreter, but as an equal communication of all participants. The hypothesis is expressed that in the future the main feature of the space of metaverses will be the ability to cause a communicative response, that is, to be the subject of discussion and reflection of its inhabitants. Probably, gradually, this feature will constitute the category of value of metaverse architecture – both artistic and economic.

“…In the future, it is possible to note the specification of the use of such means in various segments of the modern urban planning discourse -for example, the involvement of an immersive environment for the improvement of participatory urban planning [4,5]. Thus, we can talk about the gradual emergence of a new terminological framework with concepts such as "eurbanism" [6], or cyber-urbanism [7,8]. A possible prospect is also the involvement of virtual presence tools for visualizing the memory of a place [9].…”

Prospective Directions of Urban Concepts Transformation in the Context of the Immersive Presence Environments Development

The proliferation of immersive presence environments (an artificially created multimedia environment of an alternative reality) is evolving into a widespread social phenomenon that gradually influences how people live and interact. As a result, it has the potential to reshape expectations and demands regarding living spaces and their arrangement. While numerous studies have explored the impact of virtual and augmented reality technologies on urban planning, relatively little attention has been given to the possibility that the behavioral changes brought about by these technologies could prompt a reevaluation of the fundamental principles underlying urban planning. Previously, immersive environments were primarily seen as tools for a limited group of individuals to enhance their problem-solving capabilities within the existing framework of urban planning. However, with the widespread adoption of virtual presence tools, there is a potential for a significant shift in this paradigm. The exact nature and implications of these changes are still not well understood and remain uncertain. However, through the method of behavioral interpolation, we can begin to model the key aspects and potential outcomes of this paradigm shift. The object of this article is to present a theoretical framework for potential transformations in the contemporary urban planning paradigm resulting from the widespread adoption of personalized virtual reality technologies. Through analysis, five key categories within modern post-industrial urban planning are identified as likely to undergo changes: a) residential areas; b) accessibility radius; c) social cohesion; d) transportation requirements, and e) optimal density. Residential units will necessitate additional opportunities and spaces, altering living requirements and lifestyles. The significance of the accessibility radius, particularly for pedestrians, may diminish as a considerable number of desirable locations become accessible directly from individuals' homes. Reducing strain on transportation networks will enhance cities' environmental sustainability and create new opportunities for green spaces. The concept of social cohesion will experience stratified transformations, as differences related to ethnicity, religion, gender, race, age, social status, etc., become neutralized through the development of shifting virtual personas and non-deterministic identities. These interrelated changes will also diminish the weight of the optimal density category. Collectively, these transformations form a comprehensive conceptual framework that reimagines the city. This article outlines two potential directions of change in the urban paradigm that could arise from the proliferation of personalized metaverse communication technologies. The first direction pertains to the contemporary interpretation of deurbanistic concepts, incorporating elements of self-sufficiency, stability, security, and communication infrastructure characteristic of the information age. The second direction is likely to focus on various approaches to transforming the existing urban environment. This transformation will occur through the involvement of market regulatory mechanisms and the development and implementation of specialized municipal programs aimed at modernization and stimulating population growth.
