We developed a wonderful speech sharing and interaction
On October 22, 2021, the 17th China International SME Expo Smart Home Building Materials Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as "China Expo Home Furnishing Exhibition") was opened at the Foshan Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center.
The exhibition is guided by foshan municipal government and Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, hosted by the Secretariat of the Organizing Committee of the China Expo, and co-organized by the Shunde District Government. As one of the professional exhibitions of the China Expo, the Smart Home Building Materials Exhibition, with the theme of "Wisdom, Intelligence, Intelligent Manufacturing, Green", was held in Foshan for many consecutive years under the background of the national construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the construction of the Sanlong Bay Innovation Agglomeration Area in Foshan, relying on the advantages of Foshan's deep heritage and strong scale of home industry cluster.
In 2021, known as the first year of the "meta-universe", domestic and foreign technology giants and capital markets are hotly sought after and rushing to enter. Affected by the new round of the epidemic, many guests can not attend, so the organizers of this exhibition not only opened the cloud live broadcast, but also took the lead in opening the "meta-universe" live broadcast, allowing invited guests to enter the venue in an immersive way in the form of virtual avatars by logging in to the virtual world, and the speakers present wore VR glasses to enter the virtual world for the guests present, online, and in the virtual world.
The guests gave wonderful speeches in the virtual world, which led the online audience to enthusiastically watch and shout "Good science fiction!" "Ready Player One!"
Chen Wanli, the initiator of the "Lingnan School of Architecture Museum" project and a well-known architectural designer, as a guest speaker at this exhibition, interacted with the avatar of "Tujia Little Sister" in the virtual world, and delivered a wonderful speech with the theme of "Lingnan Architecture and Lingnan Cultural Heritage", which repeatedly triggered the enthusiasm of online audiences and called good science fiction, as if "number one player".
At the same time, witnessed by the guests participating in the live, online and virtual worlds, the "Lingnan School of Architecture Museum" and Daxizhou jointly launched the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Space-time Magic City Co-construction Plan".

Zheng Yijuan, assistant to the president of Daxizhou Technology, introduced the co-construction plan
Lingnan is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, and there were splendid Neolithic and Bronze Age high civilizations long before the Qin Dynasty.
Lingnan culture absorbed and innovated the ideas of Confucianism, Law, Taoism, and Buddhism imported from the Central Plains, and gave birth to Confucian scholars such as Chen Xianzhang and Zhan Ruoshui, creating a precedent for the study of mind in the Ming Dynasty; poets Zhang Jiuling and Qu Da were well-known throughout the country; Huineng created Sinicized Buddhism - the Southern School of Zen Buddhism, which affected the whole country and the world; the Thirteen Elements of Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty became the only window for trade and cultural exchanges between China and the world, spreading oriental civilization to all parts of the world; in modern times, Lingnan became the source of China's democratic revolution, giving birth to Zheng Guanying, Kang Youwei, and Liang Qichao Sun Yat-sen and others are the advanced figures of modern China.
Since the Han Dynasty, the ocean has brought the advantages of commerce and openness to Lingnan, so that Lingnan people have gradually formed an open and innovative, inclusive, pragmatic and change-seeking psychology, which is reflected in lingnan architecture as: free, natural and in line with the law of people's activities of the layout of the layout; bright, cheerful and diverse forms of facades and forms; and the organic combination of landscaping and urban or regional environment, etc., highlighting its integration of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, open and compatible cultural regional character, is the bright pearl in the history of Chinese architecture.
The guests jointly started the co-construction plan
Daxizhou and the "Lingnan School of Architecture Museum" jointly released the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Space-time Magic City Co-construction Plan", which is intended to unite the elite architects of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to restore and reproduce those buildings that have left a deep mark on the historical development of Lingnan in the virtual world, so that the public can travel through time and space, return to that time and space node, and taste or recall the humanistic and urban prosperity at that time. Today, the era of high-speed informatization brings us a rapidly changing life, and the city is becoming more and more wonderful in the process of modernization, and the city has become not only a space for the public to gather for life, but also an important carrier for regional cultural display, exchange and inheritance. Every building and landscape in the city is imprinted with the deep and shallow imprint of Lingnan culture. The same is true of the Lingnan School of Architecture, which is both in the same vein and constantly innovating and developing, along with the in-depth application of digital technology, Lingnan architects will get rid of the shackles of the physical world, open up a new continent, and release the ultimate illusion of architects in the virtual world. Tomorrow, we will freely travel through this super city on the land of Lingnan, whether it is the past, present or future, we can find our love in multi-dimensional time and space.
The virtual world ushers in virtual architects
As one of the oldest professions in the world, architects give life to different forms of the physical world, allowing human life to expand infinitely. But they also often face the challenge of finding good parties to support their ideas and pay their bills on time.
Most designs will remain on paper forever, they may be shot for various reasons, and most "paper buildings" are worthless because they are not recognized by Party A. Even if the design is fortunate to land, construction is an expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain process. Don't forget the architect's lifelong responsibility system, when there is a problem with the project, there are many times the designer will be held accountable and sued.
Architects often work as project managers with other professional consultants, engineers, contractors, clients, and government officials to implement project after project. Rather than providing one-on-one consulting services, architects can reinvent business models, deliver scalable products and services, and reusable solutions that serve countless users, not just one party.
The three-dimensional nature and design method of the building itself determine the natural connection between the building and the 3D visualization technology, and also make the building one of the elements that migrate from the real world to the virtual world.
In the future, more and more ordinary people will begin to work and interact in the metaverse. Scans of virtual offices, art galleries, concerts, classrooms, museums, and real-world spaces can be hyperlinked together to form the beginnings of a virtual city. While communities and events require space, which requires virtual architects, there will be new demands on architectural design.
The digital home, called Mars House, designed by artist Kim, is on sale at the NFT Marketplace for $512,000
For architects, the metacosm is a virgin land full of possibilities, a utopia without the constraints of the physical world. Architects can create unique, NFT-backed designs for those who like to collect unique assets, as well as build digital assets such as cities, buildings, homes, sculptures, point clouds, textures, and more and sell them to virtual worlds, games, and movies. By creating virtual objects, in exchange for remuneration in the real world, architects will transform from consultants to content creators.
Therefore, we sincerely invite the elite architects of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to participate in the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Space-time Magic City Co-construction Plan" to restore and reproduce the wonderful Lingnan architecture and lingnan historical and cultural grandeur that existed in the past on the fertile soil of Lingnan in the virtual world of The Great Western Continent, so that the younger generation can immerse themselves in understanding and experiencing the humanities and urban prosperity at that time; create a more futuristic, more in line with the human survival experience of the meta-universe era, and the Lingnan architectural cluster that exists in the future time and space, leading mankind to open up a new civilization imagination. Connect more young people, inherit the humanistic spirit of Lingnan, the profound humanistic accumulation of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the attractive Chinese culture.
