Introduction

Imagine a second life where architectural ideas that could never exist in the real world are coming true. Buildings could withstand thousands of pounds of pressure and still hold structure. Houses floating in the sky, and still able to have a landscape, and no matter what happens, the only thing that affects the building is a click of a mouse. This “Second Life” does exist. Second life allows architects to show their ideas in a 3D visual form that could take hours upon hours to create. Simple ideas can begin to get complex and before the process has even begun, days have passed! In Second Life, architects are known as artists who have constructed artwork. Incorporating architecture into a second life involves inspiration, an overall theme, and a process in which the specific project is constructed.
