Bringing your ideals in

4 02 2009

People are free to bring anything they want into THE CITY, as long as its architectural, Each person to submit one Room, one building. You don’t have to do both. But what I was hoping to make clear is, when it comes to the structure, both of the Building and the room
A) They don’t have to relate
B) There is no set styling, what you put in, is upto you.
This lead me to thing about a guide as to what people are free to interpret, so I drew up a little guide, as to how I’ve been thinking about buildings. This applies to the rooms as well, in how its thought through, only the end result is, well, inside out.

Feel. how does this this building feel to you, is it sobering, happy, inspiring? Terrifying? Euphoric?
What is the buildings basic category skyscraper? tenement? business? homestead?
What would people have intended your building to be used for? Corporate offices? Small business? living in? Services? parking space?
Locationally, If you building belonged somewhere, where would that be? This means in visual aspect? for instance whitewash and tiled, mediterranian, Steel and glass Singaporean corporate, Retro Skyscraper ala NewYork, Bostonian Townhouse.
What era is it from? does it belong in a particular time frame? Art Deco, Rennaisance baroque? Futurist ala 1920s? Sci fi?
What are its features? Filagree fretwork? Gargoyles? search lights? Mirrored glass? external lifts?
What is its state of repair? disused? pristine? wrecked? bombed out?
What is it currently used for? Is the carpark now a tenement, is the arcology a zombie factory or arts installation?

This isn’t a rulebook, just an idea of how I’m going about things, if anyone else isn’t sure what the goalposts are.
