//GENRAL CONCEPT//

Our work evolved initially according to the exchanges with American, Korean and Japanese students. The search of a place which facilitates these cultural interactions became the main focus of the programming while influencing the design. Our general idea relies on the creation of a variety of spaces that will support these cultural interactions characterizing the 3D interactive of SL. As explained deeper in the urban page of the site FILM, the cube was used like the unifying primary element in the site between the various teams. It is the common language allowing the meterialisation of the space. It is used, making it possible to exploit the possibilities of a simplified language. The use of a modular architecture offers a definition of the various spaces (squares) which are able to represent this cultural diversity. In fact, the advantage of this modular architecture is the facility of evolution of the project in time according to the contributions of the various users. The modules will be distinguished by their function and their space. (In analogy where certain cultures are more distant while others tend to gather instinctively.) This concept makes possible to govern the space localization of the modules. It is a membrane which comes thereafter to unify the modules of various vocations. The walls which can be reduced in a simple folded ribbon make it possible to gather all these spaces. This idea is joint with the concept of co-operation or interlacing through this cultural diversity. Briefly, the skin plays a part as symbolic as functional. In short, our objective is to summarize a creation of spaces which will support these cultural interactions. The places will allow to the residents a variety of complementary uses while having a virtual architectural language suitable for each one and which will differentiate them as a single entity. In the composition of spaces, we consider strongly the use of a reflective architecture which will be in the middle of the interactions between residents. They will be able to act on their environment and vice versa. (By the use of scripts) Our work will be directed to make the spaces liveable and to generate some `virtual culture' which will be a tool for education, communication but also conscientisation, well we hope …

I saw the website which is attached. I think the architecture is cool. Is there anything that I can help? Brooke

December 6th. Thanks Brooke, we appreciate your involvement !!!

1.Actually we want to attach cultural website or Blog (like a link when you select a web pannel ) 2.We want ideas of the differents space (squares) that you guys want to interact ! Any special requests or environnement you guys want ? Anything to propose ? ;) Christelle
