2013 Application: Architecture: Would you buy this house?

 Would you buy this house?
-

Little house on the sandbox
-
I mean buy it in real life.  This is a reasonably complete house, one that could be used in an architect's presentation of plans.  And it is a striking presentation.  A few projects have used virtual builds in Second Life as a way to present and promote the proposed a planned construction.  So I thought about how this virtual house would serve as a working model for thinking through the plan.
-
Below are some views and my thoughts as I would think them if I were considering this house plan as a presentation by my architect.  I would not buy this house as is, but I do think this virtual house is useful in thinking about the question of what I would buy.

by Lewis Carroll
A presentation of 
The Avatar Repertory Theater of Second Life

Curiouser and curiouser, through the looking-glass, where things look the same, only the things go the other way. . . .

  • Alice finds herself moving through a large chessboard, 
  • Red Queen gives her lessons in royalty, 
  • Tweedledum and Tweedledee battle and rattle, 
  • Humpty Dumpty sits on a wall, and 
  • the Red and White Knight try to fight for her.
After a hugely successful production of “Alice in WonderSLand”, the Avatar Repertory Theater (ART) continues their tradition of pushing the boundaries of creativity and what’s possible in virtual worlds.
-
ART brings Lewis Carroll’s characters to life in a new production of “Through the Looking Glass” based on the original Tenniel drawings, with lively animations, original costumes, and a fresh musical score based on familiar nursery rhymes.
