# NFT-Funded Pavilions The Fungible Non-Fungible Pavilion Promotes Decentralization By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2022-09-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fungible-nonfungible-pavilion References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2022/09/13/nft-funded-pavilion-tallinn-architecture-biennale/) Architectural design studio Iheartblob's Fungible Non-Fungible Pavilion was set up outside Tallinn's Museum of Estonian Architecture at the Tallinn Architecture Biennale in Estonia and it's a physical structure that promotes a decentralized future. The puzzle-like structure was partially designed by the public using non-fungible tokens, specifically community-designed [NFT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nftconnected-furniture) objects. With physical blocks that represent NFT objects minted by the community, the installation explores a future in which the community replaces the architect as the "master builder." Thanks to its unique form, the Fungible Non-Fungible Pavilion currently consists of 78 pieces, although it has the possibility to expand. The Fungible Non-Fungible Pavilion was the winning entry for the Slowbuilding competition held for the main installation at Tallinn Architecture Biennale 2022. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Community-designed Nfts:** Incorporating community-designed NFTs into buildings and installations creates new opportunities for decentralized design. - **Puzzle-like Structures:** Developing puzzle-like structures through NFT design contests opens up new pathways for architectural innovation. - **Participatory Architecture:** The Fungible Non-Fungible Pavilion showcases the potential for participatory architecture and its impact on the future of design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Incorporating NFT design contests into architecture and building design processes will create disruption in the traditional architecture industry by fostering a more collaborative approach. - **Art:** The use of community-designed NFTs in art installations and exhibits has the potential to create new forms of decentralized art and disrupt the traditional art industry. - **Blockchain:** The use of blockchain and NFTs in architecture and design has the potential to disrupt traditional building and design practices by introducing new technologies and collaborative processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Public Pavilion Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tess-pavilion.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Interactive Virtual Tokens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-the-meeting-place.md) - [Living Structure-Based Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-pavilion.md) - [Ceramic Vault Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muqarnas-pavilion.md) - [Mushroom-Like Wooden Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-garden-pavilion.md) - [Nomadic Community-Themed Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girjegumpi-the-smi-architecture-library.md) - [Everyday Material Colorful Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-pavilions.md) - [Interactive Public Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-transformation-pavilion.md)
