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.

    Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
    But imagine if you added some great pictures or video clips
    to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but
    with images and clips, this site could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche.

    Wonderful blog!
