This Weeks Tonight Live, DB Bailey Architect,Shannon Oherlihy Folk Singer,P.J Trenton Photographer

Sunday March 28th On Tonight Live 6pm slt

DB Bailey is David Denton Architect in RL. He is based in Southern California and first started building in SL about three years ago. Recently his practice has included mostly urban design and virtual design. Not too much architecture to be done these days. David envisions most if not all of his work in the future to be based in the virtual world. Two years ago he was working in collaboration with PUD Consultants in Cairo on a mixed-use project to be built in Egypt. Dr. Amr Attia of PUD Consultants and David decided that despite the size of the project, they would try designing the building in SL. Dr. Attia teaches architecture and planning at Ain Shams University in Cairo. They decided to try having architectural students collaborate in the virtual world. At the same time, President Barack Obama made his famous speech in Cairo, in which he envisioned just such an internet collaboration, what he called the “Kansas to Cairo” project. David linked up with the US Department of State, who is now supporting the project.  Eight students from the University of Southern California School of Architecture are now collaborating with 40 students from Ain Shams University School of Architecture. Some of the students will be meeting each other at a State Department -sponsored event in Washington, DC in early June.

David is also exploring other ways to use the virtual world in urban planning work for community outreach. He was pleased to receive notice that the collaboration among several major universities and the US Library of Congress had selected his work to be included in their permanent collection of early virtual world design.
