INTRODUCTION-The metaverse, a virtual universe where individuals can interact, create, and
engage in various activities, is rapidly gaining prominence across diverse domains. In the field of
architecture, the metaverse presents a novel platform that challenges traditional design
paradigms and o ers new possibilities for architectural expression. This research proposal aims
to investigate the impact of the metaverse on building architecture, exploring its potential to
revolutionize design processes spatial experiences, and architectural innovation.
The exploration of the metaverse in building architecture is imperative due to its potential to
revolutionize design practices, meet evolving user expectations, enhance sustainability e orts,
and unlock economic opportunities. As technology advances, understanding how the
metaverse can be integrated into architectural processes becomes crucial for staying relevant
and harnessing its transformative capabilities. By embracing the metaverse, architects can
innovate in design, create immersive user experiences, optimize building performance, and tap
into emerging markets, positioning themselves at the forefront of rapidly evolving digital
landscape while addressing the challenges and opportunities of the future of architecture.
