Description

Additionally, we have integrated multi-level ramp connections, teleportation portals, and elevator access throughout the main structures. These design elements ensure that major programs are accessible from various directions and in multiple ways.

In terms of materiality, our choice of all-glass facades and minimal wall enclosures is deliberate, aiming to maximize transparency and openness.
We believe that these design decisions uphold the democratic principles of the DAO, fostering decentralized governance, creativity, and collaboration. This creates a space for a new era of shared strength and open connections.

At the end of each design phase we plan to make a presentation and implement progress models in our worlds server to collect feedback from the community and make improvements in the next phase. Our goal is to design an aesthetically pleasing project that meets and exceeds the expectations and requirements for the Decentraland DAO community.

In summary, the project aims to create a comprehensive architectural and technological wonder that embodies functionality, innovation, and aesthetics. The design of two building structures and a linked bridge equipped with accessible and versatile spaces, outdoor landscapes, a floating moon feature, and optimized performance of assets and functions will serve as a testament to the DAO’s commitment to creating inclusive, immersive, collaborative, and visionary spaces for its community and stakeholders.

Disclosure:

This project was our bid proposal for the Decentraland DAO Headquarters tender, as first time ever a bidding tendering proposal from the DAO. We are saddened that it was not submitted successfully due to technical difficulties and network issues, but we still want to share our project in which we put a lot of effort in. Maybe these efforts and studies could help the DAO or the winning design in some way thus contribute a little bit to the community. We wish the best of luck to the DAO community and hope the DAO gets an amazing town hall space for future in-world meetings!

Wow, this looks nice to me. But why did you make that mistake? Now the bid proposal is in progress.

Thanks. Our ip was blocked for some reason that prevented us to hit the submit button. It happend again earlier when we tried to submit this proposal. We had to use a VPN in order to get it through.


But in the end, it is still our responsibility to figure it out, and we should have tried it earlier so there’s time to ask for support. We’ll just have to learn from this and live with it.

I do not think you know about about how Decentraland work to do this project:

Votes are off-chain, not on the blockchain.

I also do not think we should go with a project that require a server, it would force us to pay them basically forever to maintain it.

If a server can address a portion of users or users from a specific region, why not? Due to server issues, I believe that 90% of users who have tried to play here do not linger in DCL because login and other issues have been a significant inconvenience.

I like this. Don’t know about the technical unfortunately.

Hi there! You mentioned technical difficulties when submitting this bid for the tender opportunity to build the DAO HQ. Can you relay which difficulties arose so we can better understand the submittal process going forward? Thanks!
