Zaha Hadid was a famous British architect of Iranian descent, who founded in 1980 the architectural firm Zaha Hadid Architect, known for numerous magnificent projects realized around the world. The long list of this renowned architectural studio includes the Baku Cultural Center, the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, the MAXXI Museum of 21st Century Art in Rome, and recently the latest project - the virtual city of Liberland Metaverse.

It is a "cyber-urban" city in the meta universe where people can buy land with cryptocurrency and own and enter digital buildings as avatars. This virtual city is based on the idea of the Free Republic of Liberland - a micronation declared by the Czech politician Vit Jedlička, on no man's land between Serbia and Croatia, which covers 700 hectares.

At the same time, this project exists independently in the realm of virtual reality, says Patrick Schumacher, the first man of the Zaha Hadid architect's studio. The idea and ultimate goal of the project is to become a space for networking and cooperation within the web industry. It is a meta universe for all those who deal with the meta universe, RTS reports.

Access to the Liberland metaverse is provided through a platform that creates 3D environments. Once they access this crypto incubator, people can visit the buildings designed by Zaha Hadid's studio, including the city hall, the square and the exhibition space.

In addition, it is possible to buy a piece of land and start a business in this virtual city, and whoever does that will have shares or a piece of land in physical Liberland, the size of Gibraltar. All buildings are designed in Zaha's distinctive style - round, wavy shapes and curved corners. However, many of the buildings have elements that are not attached to the ground - something that would not be possible in the real world with gravity.

According to Schumacher, the physical world will always inevitably have to coexist with the virtual, but the latter is more grateful and creative, because it has been shown that there are no limits to urban planning in virtual spaces.
