The Meta-Fluid Studio explores the quality and power of Fluid Design to conceive cyber-urban environments in virtual cities. The goal is to create a virtual free-standing town designed by 30 designers teamed up in 3s. Some teams will create meta-archi typologies for this studio, and some designers will join skills to develop a ‘meta-urban’ base. Combined, they will make a free-standing, fluid virtual urban field and prove the Multi-Author Urban Design to be the directionality for the future of virtual cities.
