Peer Review 2

This weeks peer review, I reviewed three people from the same group as last time as they are always the group that goes through the workshop before us but I reviewed different people.

The peer review was very useful as before trying it myself or knowing about it, I was taught about making my own sculpties on 3DS Max and it was recommended to make my own sculpties, textures and also try using an alpha channel.

These are the blog addresses of the peers I reviewed:
Richard Andre Wiltens - http://archdesigntwo.blogspot.com
Richard researched ideas in relation to Le Corbusier for the idea of sustenance this week.  Looking at his principles, Richard re-produced a work on Secondlife reminiscent of Le Corbusier's works including the 5 points such as having the builidng on pilate, freeforms etc.  Therefore the builidng produced was very similar to that of Le Corbusier.  Secondlife was not working however therefore I was only able to see snapshots of the building on his blog.


Nick Johnston - http://nicksarch102blog.wordpress.com
Nick wanted to create a communal bathing space which he ideally placed underneath the Owen Glenn building on the real site, but he was able to find a site similar to the real one in Second life.  He did a lot of research in relation to the history and cultures of communal bathing spaces such as traditional Japanese bathing houses.  He explored the abilities of Secondlife in many ways such as making a lot of his own sculpties, textures, alpha channels and scripts in order to  make the bathing spaces both quite private but also public.



Rob Cornelissen - http://muchadoaboutarchitecture.wordpress.com
Rob's final idea for his creation was the concept of communicating with someone for example uisng Skype when they are in a different time zone at a different time of the day.  The space was a simple rectangle space with a kitchen space on one end and the lounge space on the other side which were separated with a wall which could open or close.  This wall had an image on it which was taken in Secondlife.  Therefore when the wall was closed, from the kitchen the view would be a person sitting in the living room but it would be a different time of day therefore what one would see was the lounge space but it was an image not the actual lounge space and vice versa when looking form the lounge space.
