RE: Blockchain and Architecture – Sndbox Incubator Cohort 2 005
100%. We need more precedents that boil down blockchain complexity into simple, impactful, resonating results that push across multiple disciplines.
It begins with increasing knowledge, gathering research from other industries and precedents. This knowledge can then be applied through prototypes, with the findings fed-back in to the process.
This space is going to be incredibly transformative for the built world. Not just in the way of smarter cities or more collaborative infrastructure, but more simply the premise of how and who we can communicate with.
I know we both agree that architecture needs to be more outward-facing. Blockchain could be the incentive framework we need to make that leap.
Somewhat related to the premise of city fabric... Here's an article we wrote about Park networks and the potential future of SMTs...
Great article, the concept you discuss about bringing steem/crypto/blockchain out of the online world and into "real-life" is very valid.
When reading the article the term governance came to mind. My findings are community based or bottom up initiatives can often fail due to governance and internal politics. Perhaps blockchain could address this? Something to consider further...
Your comment couldn't be more spot on @sndbox!
There is definitely potential for blockchain to support the larger smart city and infrastructure scale concepts, but I think we are on the same page regarding our primary interests. How can it impact the communities within the cities? How does blockchain feed into the schools of architecture? Precedents are the way forward.
