"The real fraud is the images of this so called house" says commenter
In this week's comments update, readers are engaging in a dispute over the copyright of the first NFT house and sharing their views on other top stories.
The artist and the visualiser who collaborated on the first NFT house are locked in a dispute over the copyright of the virtual property, which sold for $500,000.
Argentine 3D-modeller Mateo Sanz Pedemonte, who created visualisations of Mars House for artist Krista Kim, claimed the project was "a fraud".
"Krista Kim never owned this project fully," Pedemonte told Dezeen. "I have created the project with my own hands, combined with her direction. I do possess the full intellectual property."
"The renderer obviously wants in on that ridiculous payday"
Readers aren't convinced though. "The renderer obviously wants in on that ridiculous payday," said Hosta. "I might add, the house looks like something I could render on my commodore 64 back in '85."
"So basically if the guy was a painter and decorator he would own the final paint job in the buildings he painted?" asked Mike Williams.
"The only interesting thing here is how much it sold for," continued Money. "Otherwise, both the design and the 3D are nothing to write about."
"The real fraud is the awful images of this 'house'," concluded J.

Jun Aoki & Associates wraps Louis Vuitton's Tokyo store in "poetic yet playful" pearlescent facade
"What a gorgeous facade" says reader
Commenters are critiquing Jun Aoki & Associates' design for a Louis Vuitton store in Tokyo's Ginza shopping district. It features a distinctive undulating facade and interiors by architect Peter Marino.
"What a gorgeous facade," said Design Junkie on one hand.
Mr J agreed: "Handsome, inside and out. Such a pleasing contrast to the hard rectilinearity of its neighbours."
Miles Teg was less keen: "If this facade is intended as an allegory for our times, it is quite a successful design. If it is not, then it is just fake and disturbingly plastic to me."

Satan Shoes by Lil Nas X and MSCHF are Nikes containing human blood
"This has as much edge as a foam ball" says commenter
Readers are discussing the design of a limited run of 666 pairs of black Nike trainers, which American musician Lil Nas X and Brooklyn brand MSCHF have customised with human blood.
"I love it!" said J. "I need them – Dracula."
"'A drop of blood donated by the six members of the design team'," continued Louis Heatlie. "In the 21st century even satanists are boring. This has as much edge and impact as a foam ball."
"It's 2021 and lots of people still don't understand the very concept of provocation..." concluded Marc Sicard.

Assemble and Nelly Ben Hayoun among creative teams announced for "Festival of Brexit"
"Save the money for a rainy day" says reader
Commenters are debating a UK event that's been dubbed the Festival of Brexit. Pitched as a "celebration of UK creativity" the event got its name thanks to being conceived while the UK government was negotiating its withdrawal from the European Union.
"Festival of Brexit?" asked Bunkermentality. "They must be joking."
"Save the money for a rainy day," added Apsco Radiales. "Great Britain will need it!"
"Usually, I'd be really pleased for those invited to take part in this," concluded Mistermoog. "But given the Tories' incompetence at the handling of both Brexit and the pandemic, I want this festival of broken Britain to be hijacked and disrupted by anyone who thinks the money would be better used by giving it to NHS staff."

Marc Thorpe designs virtual house with vaulted concrete arches
American designer Marc Thorpe has unveiled a concept for a concrete house with vaulted archways and tree-filled gardens for a riverbank in Georgia.
Named House of Four Gardens, the work is a set of 3D renderings created in collaboration with architectural visualisation studio Truetopia.
House of Four Gardens is a virtual concept
Thorpe imagines the project suiting the waterways on the outskirts of Savannah, Georgia.
"Currently, the project remains as a concept, or more as an expression of values and beliefs," Thorpe told Dezeen. "I was most interested in the philosophical relationship between man and nature."
The renderings imagine the property on a grassy riverbank
Thorpe explored this theme by conceptualising a grid of thirty 144-square-foot (14-square-metre) concrete groin-vaults arranged around an inner courtyard.
Four small grassy gardens would be placed at intervals on the grid, surrounded by river water, oaks and perennial ferns native to the region.
Four gardens define the concept house
The house's namesake, its four gardens, would act as bridges between outside and inside spaces. Each garden would have its own tree casting shadows against the curved concrete.
Inside, House of Four Gardens would have areas for living, dining and sleeping. The bungalow's interior spaces are defined by the geometry of their corridors.
A bathroom looks towards nature
Only transparent glazing would separate these rooms from their jungle-like surroundings, enhancing the house's connection to nature.
A bath overlooks the mossy riverbank, while the chandelier-lit dining room's panoramic views offer the feeling of being outside.
The panoramic dining room
"The translucency of the home is conceptually important," said Thorpe. "The closer we get to nature, the more we learn about ourselves."
Thorpe's work is informed by philosopher David E Cooper's book A Philosophy of Gardens. Cooper highlights the importance of humanity's relationship with nature.
While House of Four Gardens is currently only a conceptual project, Thorpe recognises the increasing trade of digital design as an intriguing trend.
"I'll leave it to this. If someone is interested in buying the rights of the design as an NFT, I would be very happy to sell," he concluded.
A digital house by artist Krista Kim that has just been sold for over half a million dollars, while designer Kelly Wearstler has created a virtual garage in Joshua Tree to celebrate a new electric truck by Hummer.
Marc Thorpe Design was founded in 2010. Last year, Thorpe released conceptual designs for a Hollywood Hills residence.

Duyi Han creates retro renderings of Italian design objects for virtual exhibition
Artist and designer Duyi Han has produced a series of renderings featuring objects by 41 seminal Italian designers such as Ettore Sottsass and Enzo Mari displayed in 3D environments borrowed from popular culture.
Han's project is for a virtual exhibition at Brooklyn's Superhouse gallery in New York, called Different Tendencies: Italian Design 1960 – 1980.
Top: a video compiling Han's renderings. Above: Ettore Sottsass' 1979 Svincolo floor lamps
The set of individual renderings have been compiled into a video with effects and music to evoke the ambience of the 60s and 70s.
Although the exhibition is online largely due to the coronavirus pandemic, the designs displayed in Han's renderings are for sale as physical objects upon request.
Wright-Wright, a 1972 chair by Nanda Vigo rendered against a backdrop referencing Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey
Han's nostalgically grainy renderings insert virtual versions of various designs from the Italian Radical period into scenes informed by a range of recognisable popular culture references from the same era such as old films and album covers.
A rendering of Archizoom Associati's 1968 Sanremo floor lamp rides a yellow escalator, a reference to English rock band Black Sabbath's Technical Ecstasy album cover from 10 years later.
Archizoom Associati's 1968 Sanremo floor lamp
Archizoom Associati was a Florentine design studio that played a key role in the Italian Radical period, an era Han described as "raw, intense and wildly optimistic".
"Virtual renderings are a good format in which to bring things from different years and different places together," Han told Dezeen.
Guido Drocco and Franco Mello's 1972 Cactus coatrack
While some of Han's virtual scenes contain references separated by several years or more, other renderings combine design objects with virtual backdrops from same year.
A rendering of Guido Drocco and Franco Mello's Cactus, a sculptural coatrack from 1972, is displayed in a scene referencing Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 science fiction film Solaris.
When curating his digital scenes, Han said that his design process was led by how the objects looked in relation to their varied backdrops rather than matching dates.
"I wanted to show that different works from different artists and designers belong to similar strands of historic evolution, across disciplines and geographies," he explained.
Lapo Binazzi's 1969 Paramount table lamp
Other renderings include designer Lapo Binazzi's 1969 table lamp named Paramount, which is positioned against an explosive visual ode to musician Stevie Wonder's 1976 Songs in the Key of Life album cover.
As well as films and album covers, Han also appropriated scenes from famous artworks and past design exhibitions in his renderings.
UP 2 by designer Gaetano Pesce
UP 2 is a plump red armchair by Gaetano Pesce from 1969. Multiple versions of it are arranged in a formation similar to feminist artist Judy Chicago's 1979 installation The Dinner Party.
Cuffia, a 1969 floor lamp by Francesco Buzzi is rendered peering over a poolside which takes cues from artist David Hockney's painting entitled Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) from 1972.

While Han's renderings are currently playful imitations of physical design objects, the designer acknowledged the growing demand for the acquisition of virtual objects.
"NFT versions of the renderings might come soon," he said, referring to a blockchain-based certificate of authenticity which can be assigned to virtual artworks when they are bought.

Duyi Han is a Brooklyn-based designer. He recently created a concrete bench with Thomas Musca that is informed by brutalist architecture.
Existing NFT designs include Instagram-famous videos of dreamscapes by Alexis Christodoulou, and a jpeg file of a collage by American artist Beeple which has sold for over $69 million at an auction.
Renderings and video are courtesy of Duyi Han.
Different Tendencies: Italian Design 1960 – 1980 will run from 15 March – 1 May. SeeDezeen Events Guide for an up-to-date list of architecture and design events taking place around the world.

Mars House "is a fraud" says 3D visualiser of world's first NFT house
The artist and the visualiser who collaborated on the first NFT house are locked in a dispute over the copyright of the virtual property, which last week sold for $500,000.
Mars House is "the first NFT digital house in the world," according to online art marketplace SuperRare, which sold the digital file.
But Argentine 3D-modeller Mateo Sanz Pedemonte, who created visualisations of Mars House for artist Krista Kim, claimed the project was "a fraud".
"I am afraid to say that this project is a fraud," Pedemonte told Dezeen.
"Krista Kim never owned this project fully," he continued. "I have created the project with my own hands, combined with her direction. I do possess the full intellectual property."
"Mars House is my art creation and my copyright"
However, Kim disputed his account. She confirmed to Dezeen that Pedemonte created visualisations for her but claimed that she retained full ownership of the project.
"Mars House is my art creation and my copyright," Kim told Dezeen. "He does not need to be credited because I own the copyright."
Mars House was sold for over $500,000
Kim told Dezeen that she contracted Pedemonte to work on the project through freelance marketplace Freelancer.com. She claims she did not agree to give the 3D visualiser any rights to the artwork.
"Mateo provided freelancer rendering service for which I own the copyright of Mars House," she said. "He was properly compensated for his services."
"Krista Kim never owned this project fully"
But in a comment on Dezeen's story about the sale of the house, Pedemonte claimed he was "co-author of Mars House project".
"Krista Kim never owned this project fully," he wrote.
"I have created the project with my own hands, combined with her direction. I do possess the full intellectual property. This is going be processed legally," Pedemonte's comment continued.
"I have all the content in my PC and have produced all in Unreal Engine, with all recorded working sessions. I was discredited from this project."
Pedemonte rendered the project in Unreal Engine
The transparent virtual home, which "can be built in real life by glass furniture-makers in Italy," according to the artist, was created in 2020 using 3D rendering platform Unreal Engine.
It comes complete with a "calming musical accompaniment" by rock musician Jeff Schroeder of The Smashing Pumpkins.
On his Behance profile, Pedemonte describes the project as a "meditative house concept, surrounded with mountains and pure renovating energy".
Earlier this month, the non-existent property was put on sale via SuperRare, with the virtual dwelling offered "for file upload to the owner's Metaverse".
Virtual house sold for $512,000
A buyer called @artoninternet made a series of increasingly high bids in cryptocurrency Ether until an offer of 288 Ether, which equates to $512,000, was accepted last week.
The digital file of the house is verified by a non-fungible token (NFT), which acts as a digital certificate of ownership, allowing unique digital artworks to be bought and sold and collected.
NFT technology has come to prominence in recent weeks with several high-profile sales of NFT-backed artworks and designs.
Last month, designer Andrés Reisinger sold a collection of "impossible" virtual furniture for $450,000 while earlier this month architectural rendering artist Alexis Christodoulou sold a series of images for $340,000.
Interest in NFTs exploded earlier this month when a record $69 million was paid for a jpeg by American artist Beeple.
The rapid rise of NFTs has led to concerns that transactions could be open to fraud as well as alarm over the high carbon emissions associated with the minting of the digital tokens.
