Treasury

Another fantastic piece by @mbolotnikova. Many Americans think density failed because “public housing failed,” but how much of its failure is a design failure? Isolated high-rise projects failed because they concentrated poverty and cut residents off from street life and everyday social mixing. The successful HOPE VI program replaced “anti-urban” towers with dense, mixed-income blocks, which facilitate street life and social interaction

Thanks Laura! You're an inspirational leader .

@urbanistvc @treasury_space 🫶🏻thank you Laura for your support and for ability to see the vision!! We are writing an important story, and i love that you are part of it

Ugliness has more to do with the housing crisis than you think. vox.com/future-perfect…

new Vox piece on why the housing crisis is also an aesthetics crisis, and how courtyard urbanism can help on both accounts. Great work by @mbolotnikova @patrickc @tylercowen new aesthetics discourse is happening

Happy to see the call of @patrickc and @tylercowen pick up momentum in the built design conversation, in particular with @UrbanCourtyard.

ICYMI: the new courtyard visualizations were created using Courtyard Composer (composer.courtyardurbanist.com), a tool I am launching in collaboration with Treasury (treasury.space), a spatial design company founded by architects. Courtyard Composer is designed to help people imagine, communicate, and ultimately plan and design the kinds of urban courtyard environments they want to live in. Courtyard Composer is currently in active testing and refinement, and you are invited to participate as a beta tester. You can sign up here: courtyardurbanist.com/survey/3627859

Exciting times to be alive. @UrbanCourtyard is leading the way, with support from @ArcolTech, @urbanistvc & more. Join the conversation and help imagine the New Aesthetic. composer.courtyardurbanist.com, powered by Treasury Spatial Composer. [Must be a member of Alicia's substack.]

... After a short interlude to mourn the (latest iteration) of the untimely death of the metaverse, Treasury is back with updated Registry, Discovery, Compose, and Index tools. Please sign up for demos and updates on the homepage treasury.space.

Treasury Sessions are back, and we're diving straight into one of the most crucial conversations in spatial computing: the intersection of IP rights and creative innovation. This session marks the first of two deep dives into this critical subject. As spatial technology reshapes our digital landscape, we face a critical juncture in how we handle intellectual property. Rather than repeat the mistakes of previous technological revolutions, we have an opportunity to establish thoughtful frameworks that protect creators while fostering innovation. Join us for an essential discussion led by three distinguished experts: Brittan Heller (Stanford Law School) - pioneer in XR/spatial computing rights Max Sills (General Counsel, Midjourney) - at the forefront of AI-generated content John Manoochehri (CEO, Treasury) - bridging computational design and spatial technology This session explores how we can leverage AI to enhance spatial creativity while protecting professional creators, examine ownership in AI-generated content, and discuss platform responsibilities in the spatial age. While this session won't be livestreamed, video will be available afterward on our YouTube channel. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with leading minds shaping the future of spatial technology and IP law. Register here: treasury.space/sessions/tamin…

Excited to join @treasury_space Sessions Friday on IP rights & innovation in spatial computing! I'll be with experts Max Sills (Midjourney) & John Manoochehri (Treasury) to explore how AI can drive creativity while protecting creators. Register here: treasury.space/sessions/tamin…

FundamentalVR has released version 2.0 of its surgical training application for the Apple Vision Pro system, marking a significant step forward in spatial computing for medical education. This development in spatial computing technology is reshaping how healthcare professionals learn and practice, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes. It joins recent offerings from other major players like Karl Storz, Siemens Healthineers, and Stryker in leveraging Apple's VR technology for surgical education. Richard Vincent, CEO and Co-Founder of FundamentalVR, said of the release, "With this release, we are redefining the future of medical training by making it more accessible and immersive than ever before." The convergence of spatial computing and healthcare represents a pivotal moment not only for medical training but also for defining the value proposition of spatial environments. These environments derive their worth not just from their visual appeal, but from their purposeful design and development for specific use cases. In healthcare, this means creating spaces that enhance learning, improve procedural accuracy, and ultimately contribute to better patient care. Moreover, the data generated by users interacting with these environments holds significant value. User feedback and performance metrics can be analyzed to refine training programs, improve medical devices, and drive innovation in healthcare delivery. This data, when properly anonymized and aggregated, can be licensed to researchers, medical device manufacturers, and healthcare institutions – creating new revenue streams and accelerating advancements in the field. To explore these concepts further, Treasury will be hosting upcoming Science Sessions focused on 3D digital space design in spatial computing. To stay informed on these upcoming sessions and the latest advancements in spatial computing across various industries, subscribe to Treasury's newsletter. Gain valuable insights into how this technology is transforming not just healthcare, but numerous sectors of our increasingly digital world – and how it's creating new paradigms for value creation and innovation.

There's still time to register for A New Architecture: IV! Join us tomorrow in London at 4pm to hear from top experts as they expand on insights from our previous Treasury Sessions, setting a progressive agenda for all participants in this technological evolution. And, be among the first to preview the Treasury platform and meet our initial partners – who will be revealed during the event. This event is an excellent opportunity for professionals in architecture, urban design, various design disciplines, spatial computing, metaverse development, gaming, art, and tech to learn, share, and network. The session will kick off with an introductory conversation on the current state of spatial design tools, featuring Greg Demchak, shajay bhooshan, and John Manoochehri. Following this, Patrik Schumacher, Martha Tsigkari, and Oliver Thomas will discuss the technical, creative, and commercial aspects of this new era from an architectural design perspective. Don't miss this chance to engage in the discussion on how spatial computing is revolutionizing architectural design. Register here: lu.ma/anewarchitectu…

A New Architecture: IV is this coming Monday at 4pm! We're excited to invite you to the fourth session in our "A New Architecture" series, where we're diving into how spatial computing is transforming architectural design. This session will explore how digital meets physical, the implications across creative and commercial fields, and the crucial roles of government, ethics, and education in shaping our future. You'll hear from leading experts who will build on our past Treasury Sessions – setting a forward-thinking agenda for everyone involved in this tech shift. We will also being giving a first look at the Treasury platform, plus announcing our initial partners at the event. This is the perfect place for anyone involved in architecture, urban design, various design disciplines, spatial computing, metaverse development, gaming, art, and tech to learn, share, and connect. This discussion will begin with a preliminary conversation on the state of spatial design tools, between Greg Demchak, shajay bhooshan and John Manoochehri – then will feature Patrik Schumacher, ​Martha Tsigkari, and Oliver Thomas to discuss the technical, creative and commercial dynamics of this new age from the perspective of architectural design. Don’t miss out on this chance to be part of the conversation on spatial computing’s impact on architectural design. Make sure to register now to grab your spot! Register here: lu.ma/anewarchitectu… Treasury is a registry and discovery system for the world’s most valuable spatial assets - architectural design, film scenes and sets, real estate, world monuments, experiential art, nature scans, and other spatial content.
