Second Life: dead and buried

摘要

'The virtual architects that inhabit these worlds are visionaries, the emerging prophets of a new age,'writes graphic designer Lester Clark in his essay in Space Between People: How the Virtual Changes Physical Architecture. Clark believes that Second Life - the online 3D virtual world in which users can create their own character, buy and sell goods, and build their own house or business - represents a new frontier for architecture. This view is shared by Stephan Doesinger, who in this book attempts to illustrate how Second Life and other virtual worlds affect perceptions of place and reality.
