The interior of the ballroom, dating back to 1717, has a unique Louis XIV style and is attributed to court architect Daniel Marot. The rich woodwork contains life-sized portraits of the successive generations who lived at the castle.

Mindsigh » Blog Archive » Brad Kligerman - Artist in virtual. Brad Kligerman – Artist in virtual residence In another first for Australia’s ABC broadcaster, a forum was held last night featuring SecondLife Artist-in-Residence Brad Kligerman – a Paris-based architect and new media artist.
As part of the AVAIR (Ars Virtua Artist in Residence) program, which provides sponsorship for new media artists in virtual 3D world SecondLife, this forum provided an opportunity fo rthe artist to share his experience working as an artist-in-residence. The forum was attended by 27 ‘avatars’ (virtual presences) – numbers deliberately limited to reduce lag and traffic pressure on the server providing the ‘space’, and was simaltaneously webcast to where I watched the presentation.
Kligerman has set out to use his architectural sensibility in building both a display space and a series of visual works. He has explored the play of light on virtual objects, and has built an installation called “Hyper-spaces”. Unreal Meetings. MIT researcher Drew Harry flies his avatar into a house in Linden Labs’ online environment, Second Life.
The avatar passes couches, a fireplace, and a dining-room table complete with red-velvet tablecloth and candles. “Second Life is relentlessly literal,” Harry says, pointing out one familiar domestic object after another. Harry designs virtual spaces that don’t look like the familiar world–his virtual meeting room looks more like a football field than like a conference room. He says his goal is to stop mimicking the physical world and start creating a new kind of space. “It’s not clear to me yet that [virtual worlds] are actually useful,” Harry says. The long oval table common to a boardroom lets small groups of people see and hear one another while sitting comfortably. Nick Yee, a Stanford graduate who recently completed his PhD research on social interaction in virtual environments, says that Harry’s design is on the right track.

Unrealised Moscow. Pt architecture rethink. Fabprefab. Welcome to fabprefab, a web resource dedicated to tracking developments in the market for ‘modernist prefab dwellings’ Predominant mass-market housing programs such as project homes or tract housing largely fail to meet the desires of people who appreciate a modernist design aesthetic.
Custom-designed modernist architecture is beyond the financial reach of many people and so prefab is viewed as a design and production ideology that has the potential to deliver affordable modernism. While kit or prefab homes have been available in a range of either "traditional" or "alternative" forms for many years, surprisingly few prefab homes exist that truly embrace modernist ideals. Will modernist prefab succeed? Marie-Ange Brayer. Maps Marie-Ange Brayer "My surface is myself".
