Morpho Genesis

Metaverse Architecture Biennale (M.A.B.) - "Morpho Genesis" Pavilion

Role: Lead Spatial Designer
Platforms: Decentraland and W3rlds

Project Overview: The Metaverse Architecture Biennale (M.A.B.) is a groundbreaking event that brings together visionary creators from around the globe to explore and showcase the vital role of architecture and design in the evolving Web3 and Metaverse landscapes. As the Lead Designer, I crafted the "Morpho Genesis" pavilion, an immersive digital experience that symbolizes the transformative journey of a butterfly, reflecting the interconnectedness of humanity and nature.

Design Concept: "Morho Genesis" is more than just a pavilion; it is a poetic narrative embodied in architectural form. The design draws inspiration from the metamorphosis of a butterfly, representing themes of change, growth, and the delicate dance of life. The pavilion takes visitors on a journey from the cocoon to the emergence of a luminous being, offering a unique, immersive experience that deepens the connection between humans and the natural world.

Key Features:

Immersive Digital Architecture:

The pavilion is designed to envelop visitors in the story of a butterfly's transformation. The architecture mirrors the stages of metamorphosis, from the protective cocoon to the full-fledged wings of a butterfly, creating a space that is both awe-inspiring and contemplative.
In Decentraland, "Morpho Genesis" serves as a digital sanctuary where visitors are embraced by the butterfly's wings. The pavilion's soft color palette and harmonious sounds evoke the serene environment of a chrysalis, offering a tranquil space for reflection and exploration.
Dynamic Exhibition in Decentraland:

Within Decentraland, the pavilion offers an intimate experience where visitors can navigate through its heart, experiencing the world from within the butterfly. The environment is carefully curated to convey the anticipation and serenity of life inside a chrysalis, with gentle lighting and soundscapes enhancing the immersive experience.
Expansive Narrative in W3rlds:

In W3rlds, "Morpho Genesis" expands its narrative, offering both intimate inner chambers and expansive exterior pathways. The design encourages exploration from various perspectives, allowing visitors to experience the pavilion’s intricate details up close.
The exterior pathways are designed to evoke the vitality of a leaf's veins, pulsating with life, while the interiors provide serene alcoves that echo the silent wonders of the natural world.
Symbolism and Experience:

"Morpho Genesis" is a symbolic journey that reflects the transformative power of architecture in the digital age. The pavilion’s design encourages visitors to reflect on the themes of growth and change, drawing parallels between the digital and natural worlds.
The immersive experience is crafted to leave a lasting impression, emphasizing the importance of architectural storytelling in shaping the future of the Metaverse.
Outcome: "Morho Genesis" stands as a testament to the power of digital architecture in conveying profound narratives. By intertwining the story of a butterfly’s metamorphosis with innovative design, this pavilion not only captivates visitors but also deepens their understanding of the interconnectedness between humanity and nature. Through this project, I have demonstrated the potential of architecture to transcend physical boundaries and create meaningful experiences in the Metaverse.
