Client: National Institute of Education, Singapore<br />
<br />
RL Build: Nanyang Girls High School, Singapore<br />
<br />
<br />
If you've been in group chat you've probably heard me <strike>bitching</strike> talking about this particular build project. A random person messaged me wanting to know if I could make a grade school for them for what sounded like a massive project for this teacher.. The odd part of this is they had no idea I could build. They had just seen a mountain landscape I made for the PBS Arizona build.<br />
<br />
Normally I do not take build projects for anyone. There are a few exceptions such as the Duchess of Skye and I have worked for Nokia-Seimens among other things but I was intrigued by the concept of what they needed the building for.<br />
<br />
The NIE is a national board of school authority for many countries but this one was solely focusing on Singapore. It is a project by design that takes potential teachers and teachers aides and brings them together in a virtual world where they role play as children and take turns teaching each other. I thought the idea was ingenious and interesting so I <strike>became a slave</strike> accepted the request.<br />
<br />

<br />
They wanted a school to resemble the schools of Singapore and one look at what they sent me as a reference had me going 'Oh hell no.' I won't waste your time with a picture, the photos I was given are grey concrete slabs with windows. I warned them repeatedly I do not create modern buildings but they were adamant having me. I looked at potential schools and found one that had the right amount of modern but kept an element of old world I am very used to building.<br />
<br />
I found the Nanyang Girls High School that caught my eyes. Instead of grey concrete it had actual brick and colored glass. It is a private secondary school in Singapore for girls.

I'm sure they weren't really expecting a building like the one I picked. It was a surprise to them and I'm still not sure they liked what I picked but I like it and its massive. Seriously this is the biggest building I've ever created in SL. I spared no expense with prims either. *mad cackle</div>

I was commissioned by Mrs. Peterman (Nabila Nadir) to create a moorish style build on a grandiose scale that encompasses the feel of the orient for The Casbah. She wanted to put on a historic styled oriental dances with historical information on the bellydancing displays of the orient and a few rentable rooms as well as a small dock for boats.<br />
<br />
If you haven't gone to see one of her shows, it simply is a must. The hazy air thick with opium, the pillows scattered about brilliantly colored floors as the dancers put on an excellent show. The shows start at 9pm SLT after the town hall meeting.<br />

<br />
Every view of the building is simply a treat for the eyes, working together with Mrs. Peterman we came up with various pictures that served as inspiration for The Casbah. The entire building was created by myself, the rich lush textures were created by Mrs. Peterman to create this unique standing building in Port Harbor.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;"><br />

I took inspiration from the Library of Congress to recreate a smaller scale version of it for the city.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">"The Library of Congress was built by Congress in 1800, and was housed in the United States Capitol for most of the 19th century. After much of the original collection had been destroyed during the War of 1812, Thomas Jefferson sold 6,487 books, his entire personal collection, to the library in 1815. After a period of decline during the mid-19th century the Library of Congress began to grow rapidly in both size and importance after the American Civil War, culminating in the construction of a separate library building the transference of all copyright deposit holdings to the Library. During the rapid expansion of the 20th century the Library of Congress assumed a preeminent public role, becoming a "library of last resort" and expanding its mission for the benefit of scholars and the American people."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
