DESIGN 2 PROJECT 2 - VIRTUAL ARCHITECTURE

Too bad I don't have the snapshots of steps how I build my structure in Second Life but hopefully it will be ok.  Been a heck of a week this week trying to do both my project at Uni and labs at Unitec but I'll try to tell the story of my structure in Second Life to hopefully more meaningful.

The idea of waking up and seeing good views from your room or house or wherever you wakeup at, gives you a joyful feeling and makes you really wanna drag yourself out of where you slept and walk up to see more of the good views.  For example, waking up and seeing through your windows the big cruise ships arriving at the wharf, or lifeguards running around the ocean on the jetskis and so on.  Whenever you see these kind of activities when you wakeup, you really wanna be part of it and so forcing yourself to actually go there and see it for yourself.

Whereas if you wakeup and see old buildings and nothing interesting comes through your windows, you don't want to get out of bed.  You don't like to get out there if you wakeup and see boring and quiet views of old houses with no interesting activities to really push you to go and explore what's happening out there. Here's a look at some of the snapshots of structures build in Second Life:

1. Snapshot 1

This is a shot of old structure that gives the idea of boring and emptiness where no one wakeup and enjoy looking at it thereofore doesn't really gives anything but bad taste.

2. Snapshot 2

This photo shows  a contemporary modern structures which can be seen from outside. The beauty of the structure when you wakeup and see it really push you to get up and go out explore the amazing looking structure.  So the idea of good views, beauty and joy are the facts that decide the wakeup place to be build.
