Mapping the Structures

Now that I am fairly happy with the roads, I figured I would lay out a map of where the structures should go. There are 4 main structures that I want to have as fully functioning buildings eventually (meaning they will have furnished interiors that an avatar can go inside) : the school, the church, the C'de Baca residence, and the dendrochronology site. The other buildings will be textured solid cubes. They are no less important though, as they illustrate two major concepts: the location of the church in the center of the "plaza" characteristic of most Spanish villages, and the architecture of added-on structures to the original family house, which is indicative of inheritance practices.



I used one of Dr. Nostrand's maps, and placed flattened white cubes in Second Life to map out the buildings. I am a little concerned about the size of the structures because there seems to be a space issue, as in I don't know if I have enough. It's daunting to consider that I may have to redo the whole road thing in order to make space. So, for now, I am just going to go with the layout I have, and start filling it in. Any changes needed for the road panels will be procrastinated for later.
