5 key facts about this project

04

05
The project prioritizes user-centricity, tailoring experiences to individual preferences and needs.

The design envisions a new approach to living in the metaverse, known as the parallel world. It consists of a virtual home that provides a variety of functions, such as gaming, socializing, virtual tours, and creative tasks. The overall concept focuses on creating an environment that connects the physical and digital realms, promoting adaptability and fluidity to enhance user experiences in a vast virtual landscape.

Conceptual Framework

The core idea revolves around a home that does not conform to fixed shapes or spaces. This flexible design allows the environment to shift based on the needs and preferences of its users. The virtual home becomes a gateway to countless activities, encouraging users to engage in a wide array of experiences that the metaverse has to offer.

Portal Integration

Portals play a crucial role in connecting the avatar, which symbolizes the user, to the virtual home as well as to different worlds, including brands and individuals. They enable interactions that range from virtual shopping to entertainment and education. Through these connections, users can easily navigate between diverse digital environments, increasing their level of engagement and participation.

Dynamic Spaces

The design emphasizes a fluid nature for forms and textures within the virtual home. Spaces are not static; they respond to the characteristics and moods of the avatars using them. This adaptability creates an ever-changing environment that enhances the user experience, allowing participants to actively shape their surroundings based on their interactions with others.

The Void Concept

A significant aspect of the design is the inclusion of "The Void," representing the entry and exit points of the virtual home. This idea illustrates the interaction between the physical world and the digital space, highlighting the transitions that users can experience in the architecture. The design ultimately presents a rich environment that celebrates creativity and technological innovation, offering endless possibilities for exploration and engagement.

Competition organisers

The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2025 is an international architecture competition dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the value of unrealized architectural designs. It invites architects, designers, and students worldwide to submit visionary projects that have not yet been constructed, highlighting the power of ideas and the creativity behind the design process. By focusing on unbuilt work, the competition aims to bring forward concepts that shape the future of architecture and push the boundaries of the profession. 

Participants can compete in three categories based on project scale: Small Wonders (up to 100 m²), Medium Marvels (101–999 m²), and Large Visions (over 1,000 m²). Each category winner will receive €20,000, and additional prizes include honorable mentions, student awards, and a special Best Presentation Award. Winning projects will gain significant international exposure through Buildner’s publicity campaign and a feature article on ArchDaily, providing a unique opportunity to showcase creative ideas to a global audience. 

The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2025 encourages entrants to submit any type of unbuilt project, from conceptual visions to detailed designs, celebrating bold innovation without the constraints of realization. Important deadlines: registration closes on October 30, 2025; submissions are due by November 20, 2025; winners will be announced on December 17, 2025.
