Sign up through arcspace and we will give you access and invite you to join our growing group of members.
Membership is free.
There will be a monthly minimum charge if you decide to take an (arc)space and use our future sandbox where you can take building lessons and exhibit your designs.

Our first (arc)space resident, Keystone Bouchard, has taken his second SL office with us. You can read his blog about Second Life.

Roofdog Rau, owner of Vanilla Five, is setting up his video (arc)space with red Verner Panton Cone Chairs. ArchNewsNow, still working on the space, has added a couple of Corbu chairs. We have furnished two demos with designer chairs, sofas and tables from JV Holding.

Our Multimedia Building is running the Gehry Technologies Flythrough video, produced by Vanilla Five for the exhibition Digital Project at DAC (Danish Architecture Center).

We have been exploring SL to find groups we want to collaborate with and have joined “RL Architects in Second Life,” open to architecture students, Urban Planners, Developers, and anyone with an interest in how Second Life can be used as a professional and educational tool.

We have also joined the group “Real Life Education in Second Life” which is comprised of people who are interested in the educational possibilities of Second Life. The group is open for anyone to join, and it's another great way to find colleagues and collaborators to help with education work in Second Life.

Our first exhibition, "Reflexive Architecture" by Keystone Bouchard, is an experimental installation designed to invite the visitor to become an active participant in the architectural composition.

"In real life, when we experience architecture, we play a passive role. The composition remains largely unchanged when we listen or observe. However, in a virtual environment, we have a unique opportunity to make the architecture responsive, or reflexive. The buildings can "know" that we're there, and react accordingly. Virtual components can even remember that we've been there, leaving visual or audio traces of our existence after we've left.
There are several responsive components that change based on avatar presence, in addition to glass panels that have short term and long term memory.
This installation is only a small step toward a much greater realm of possibilities available to us in Second Life."
