Mondrian Madness

My current project in Second Life has been the construction of a pavilion to serve as a launching point to the Mondrian Madness game. In building this structure, I tried to use architecture that would reflect the Mondrian Madness game, as well as the artistic style of Mondrian (the artist).

While researching some  architectural concepts, I came across a pavilion in London, England (Frank Gehry’s Serpentine Pavilion) that I thought would be a good starting point for my structure.

Using the Serpentine Pavilion as inspiration, I built a basic pavilion structure to house the rule board, game buttons, and stat chart.

After constructing some supports, I put a Mondrian texture on the pillars, and added angled roof panels to the top of the structure.

The next step in the construction of this pavilion was to make a floor that reflected the ceiling. To do this I used red, black, white, blue, and yellow prims to make a floor that resembled a Mondrian painting.

I also changed the texture on the pillars to solid red, white, yellow, and blue textures, in order to more closely match the floor.

After a meeting with the BGSU SL team, I decided to reduce the area of the pavilion slightly, and to modify the roof. I repositioned the glass panels to the outside of the support pillars, and also changed their texture to a solid red, white, yellow, and blue. The positioning of these panels was made to resemble a box opening, which I created to reflect the cube in the Mondrian Madness game. I also thinned out the pillars and put a frame around each glass ceiling panel.

Another way that I tried to reflect the architecture of the Mondrian Madness game itself was to have a rotating prime above the main structure. Instead of a cube, I used a pyramid with solid colors on each face.

Finally, I added some small supports to each pillar to hold up the colored panels.

In the future, I believe the goal is to populate the empty space in the pavilion with Mondrian art and images of the Mondrian Madness game.

    My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of
    the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.
    I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am anxious
    about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
    Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

    Wonderful blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for
    a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused ..

    Any ideas? Kudos!

    You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your
    site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure
    of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to
    say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
