archangel969 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 There are of course wonderful things being created in SL by builders. I would like to eulogise for that! Without them, we cannot set up our land, let's be honest. But sometimes you see things in RL that would be also wonderful in SL. Not for builders to recreate immediately, but for inspiration. Today I saw such an RL inspiration thing on the internet. Bacchanalia restaurant in London with sculptures from Damien Hirst. Picture of the restaurant feels allready SL-like to be honest. Born to be on SL! And you, fellow residents, do you have seen things in RL that could be an inspiration for SL? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevinVaughn Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Oh, I just saw this post and it reminded me of the Tampa Theatre! I think this must have been a design trend where there was a Spanish influence? Here is the Tampa Theater, built in 1926 Many Many detailed pictures inside and backstage here: https://www.cltampa.com/tampa/photos-one-year-later-tampa-theatre-reopened-to-the-public-last-weekend/Slideshow/12387847 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid there is nothing Spanish in that building, maybe just some Mexican inspiration, but definitely not Spanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archangel969 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I don't think the fairy tale castle and swan cave of the so called mad king from Bavaria, Ludwig II excists at Second Life. if anyone knows if there is a SL version, please tell me! I went straight to Bavaria to see it after seeing the movie Ludwig from Visconti. Edited January 27, 2023 by archangel969 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the colonial Spanish forts in Texas, New Mexico, California, and perhaps also Cuba, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Colonial_architecture Tampa has large Cuban influence that can be seen in Ybor, so perhaps that might be a nod to Cuba?

It might be just a cultural perspective. In the US, the term 'Spanish' tends to be used when referring to colonial architecture. But then we see no link to our architecture here in Spain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
