Dusan Writer posted another very thoughtful entry on his blog (link) about Reflexive Architecture. One of the most defining characteristics of the new virtual frontier is the increasingly blurry boundaries between fields of profession, and I’m excited to see the concept of virtual responsiveness reach far beyond the field of architecture. In fact, only a [...]
Read moreA new technology, a new intereface, and a new methodology for collaborative design in Second Life. Theory Shaw (Ryan Schultz) and Keystone Bouchard (Jon Brouchoud). Technology developed in collaboration with i3Dnow. Music by DJ BLUE, via ccMixter.
Read moreCan mass collaboration and collective intelligence improve the quality of architecture and urban planning? We are happy to announce that, Studio Wikitecture will continue to try to tease out this question, via it’s 3rd Wikitecture experiment kicking off officially on Nov. 7th. To accommodate those in different time zones, there will be two different times: [...]
Read moreDuring the relatively brief time I’ve spent in Second Life (its only been 18 months!), I have met some incredibly high caliber architects, designers and engineers from around the world, and I think Gehry Technologies is right on target looking for recruits in Second Life with the help of arcspace. It wouldn’t surprise at all [...]

Read moreAnother fantastic exploration in reflexive architecture, this time from Far Link. His first machinima (well done!) is posted below, and his descriptive post can be found HERE.
Read moreCheck out this most impressive application of ‘Ripple Effect’ reflexive architecture, scripted by Adeon Writer. The difference between my original concept and this improvement is that each new avatar is represented by a different color. What a great idea! Adeon has generously shared this script, with a disclaimer that it may need some tweaking depending [...]

We may be responsible for kicking off the CAD revolution our article foretells. It is only very rarely in a career that one is so fortunate to discover an opportunity so revolutionary as SL for [...]
