2nd life building on site revisited - Augmented reality

Added shadows and removed the red carpet from 2nd life
Added on some effects to brighten up building

My idea definition of gifting is generosity and unselfishness therefore the building i will design will incorporate the social and ecological needs by contributing back to the community. It will be public space and open plan - a place for people to relax.

Generosity is the habit of giving freely without expecting anything in return. It can involve offering time, assets or talents to aid someone in need. Often equated with charity as a virtue, generosity is widely accepted in society as a desirable trait. Generosity is not solely based on one's economic status, but instead, includes the individual's pure intentions of looking out for society's common good and giving from the heart. Generosity should reflect the individual's passion to help others. In Buddhism, generosity is the antidote to the self-chosen poison called greed. Therefore my buildings will have no assigned spaces but a open plan style interior where every room will be merged together in a space. It will also be quite open to the exterior environment. The overall form of the building will be quite organic to reflect its surroundings.
