The Delaware Technical & Community College has made a strong and successful debut in their use of virtual worlds in architectural education through a project led by Professor L.C. Weaverling’s (Profesora Farigoule in SL) ‘Architectural Design: Foundation Studies I’ class.
I met L.C. while touring another architectural student project led by Judy Cockeram from the University of Auckland (more on their work coming soon!), who is also exploring the use of virtual worlds in architectural education.  After renting some land on Architecture Islands, their parcel rapidly transformed from an empty grass …

Assuming I have established a viable case for the 3D virtual workplace in post 1 and 2, what about the actual planning, design and virtual architecture required to support it? What are the new characteristics of this environment that deserve consideration when developing a virtual workplace? There is a lot to cover here, but I’ll do my best to include the main areas I think deserve the most attention.
First of all, the entire concept of user-generated content adds a unique twist to the virtual workplace. The ability …

Still the same content, just moved a bit to the west…

Oze Aichi shared this revised ‘Reflexive Wall Tile’ script, which you can find HERE.
Also, check out Far Link’s ideas about this concept HERE.

Many thanks to desdemona Enfield and the DynaFleur team for sharing these 2 awesome scripts! I rezzed them out and started playing with them – its quite addicting! I can imagine all sorts of wonderful applications of these.
Here is the reflexPanel script and here is the reflexCilium script For the Cilium script, you’ll need to make the prim ‘flexi’ which you can enable in the ‘features’ tab. It also helps make the movement more fluid if you make the object long and narrow.
In order Enjoy! …

Many thanks to Oze Aichi at The Tech for sharing his ‘Reflexive Wall’ scripts! Build your own by simply dropping THIS SCRIPT inside of a prim, then name that prim ‘Reflexive Tile’. Then drop that prim inside of another prim with THIS SCRIPT in it.
Thanks Oze! Thanks also to moongold for troubleshooting the process! =)

Found this over on Mal’s SL-Edu blog (link).  Solid Aeon has taken script 03 to a new level.  Nice work!

I realize I should start another blog about Reflexive Architecture, since the subject strays a bit from the purpose of this blog.  Until then, here is yet another exciting effort to build reflexivity into the virtual environment, posted by my friend mageEgo (who is lucky enough to have a voice that sounds a lot like Morpheus from the Matrix =)  I am always incredibly inspired by these works, and am grateful he has shared this with me:

I have had the pleasure of being blown-away by some incredibly innovative uses of the Second Life platform in the past few weeks, most notably those angling toward a more Reflexive experience. I will formulate more in-depth thoughts on these in a future post. For now, I will share posts by others who have described these installations more eloquently than I.
First, there’s the Parsec. My good friends Dizzy Banjo and Eshi Otawara teamed up with Chase Marellan to create this truly innovative installation. I couldn’t sleep …

“Douglas Story & Desdemona Enfield

Dizzy Banjo – music and sound
Poid Mahovlich – terraforming
Harper Beresford – photography
Spanning an entire sim on Princeton University’s virtual campus, DynaFleur is the kind of experience that truly is possible only in Second Life.”
“…This magic is powered by complex scripts written by the talented and energetic Desdemona Enfield, which in turn were based on the open-source Reflexive Architecture scripts made available by Keystone Bouchard and his group.”
I was lucky enough to enjoy a sneak preview of this installation a while back when it was under construction, …
