DUE: Tuesday April 19th
The purpose of this project is to have students utilize the modular nature of Second Life constuction and analyze the impact of the environment on user behavior.
Each student will find (1) one example of architecture unique to Second Life which they will imitate. This building MUST use 'open' architecture which demonstrates the transcoded behavior of the second life environment: it should permit easy movement and not "feel" like a real life house/building. For an example of this transcoded behavior, please explore the building in your inventory labeled "Wright House." This object box contains the components for a building similar in style to a Frank Lloyd Wright house, but exemplifies typical Second Life architecture.
Take several screencaptures of the (1) one example of architecture you will recreate. Use these as a reference and rebuild this building in its entirety, as accurately as possible. You will be graded on accuracy of recreation as well as the craftsmanship and precision on your prim connections. Do NOT use any pre-made edifices. Prims not created by yourself are forbidden!
When you are finished, take screenshots of your building from the same angles as the original which can be posted as a side-by-side comparison with the original building. Post these comparative images to a new blog entry before class on Tuesday.
HINT: There is no need to build your copy accurately to scale. If your selected building is enormous and you want to build a copy that is the size of a house, this is fine. It just needs to be accurate in scope (you should still be able to use it as intended).
