We thus reinterpreted the garden from its characteristics. A garden is first of all the nature organized by the hand of the man where things evolve, are transformed in the course of the seasons and the interventions. It is also a space you practice, which allows the meeting as much as the introspection, the discovery, and the evasion. In the request of our team mates an important aspect appeared: the representation of cultures. This representation exists at several levels. The general organization is based on a western vision of the garden: a progress of the workmanship of the man on nature; from the organized garden, to the garden giving impress to be virgin of any human intervention. Our course me therefore punctuated by four places on which avatar can intervene. These four areas generate existent ambiences of request and the transition between them is made by doors, echo to Japanese culture, which react to the passage of avatar. The representation of the oriental culture meets itself on the one hand in the atmospheres or the characteristics of places, and on the other hand in the links which unite them. We indeed reinterpreted Tori, sacred door Japanese, made by two vertical and a horizontal element. This réinterprétation is not formal but symbolic. Indeed these doors represent passage from a space to the other one, they are transition between them, what allows to have links between different areas. We therefore envisaged that these doors can be transitions between areas: transitions reacting to the passage of avatar, without this one being able to intervene on the space so that this place remains a place of passage
 * The subject of our course** is bound to the suggestions made by the members of the team.The main theme is the garden. Naturally the purpose was not to reproduce in a analogical way, but to use the virtual resources, more exactly Second Life resources, to create this garden.

The first space is a place of meeting based on the control of elements. Cubic form is linked to this control. The le visitorcan easaly manipulate the facets composing the volume which return immutably them to their origin, de the same manner if the "controlled" garden implicates a job continuous and repeated on nature.The flexibility of elements confers to the whole an organic aspect in the movements. The space of transition between this first place and the reception, is a door which works on a principle of organization around the avatar in movement. It is the link between two organized spaces of different nature but both organized. The second place proposes a denser atmosphere, more bound to the introspection, it is a metaphor of the garden almost exempt from the human intervention. The space is more organic, denser, and the organization more unpredictable. The avatar is invited to touch the primitives which put themselves in movement. Between the two first places, a door representing staircases, loses its stiff aspect in the passage of the avatar to let appear less organized sparklings. It is the link between the seemingly "stiff" place and the "wilder" place. The third place is a return to the control of the space, the place is opened, it corresponds to escape: located at the end of the site it is at the same time an area of manipulation of the elements and observation of the whole site. The place is separated into two parts by  a line manipulables cubes. Manipulation is made from the arrows of the keyboard. It allows to cross the barrier and to rebuild the space, at least for time. The transition between this place and precedent is made through a door of volumes recalling the Japanese lanterns. Their organization is first unpredictable but then organize itself. All the volumes seems to jam the passage of the avatar but becomes blurred to fade finally completely on its passage. There remains a space to be conceived, this one will be the second more unpredictable space.The themes will be discovery. The transition between this one and the two organized areas, will be made so as to insert progressively the characteristics of each. The course make curls by alternating in your façons to work the metaphor of the garden – bank « general organized » in the unpredictable. Places contrast, and succeed start your intermediary of you. So dices departure l’ mishap will have the choice to evolve in a sense or other one.

N.B.: right now the spaces are not finished. We still have to work a lot on the atmosphere. Things will change but please put your comments ...
