Episode Nineteen - Building in Space - Chad Oberg

I recently ran into Chip Poutine as we were both hanging out at the welcome area of Better World Island. It turned out that Chip, in the real world, is Chad Oberg, a fellow Canadian from Calgary, Alberta. Chad is a design consultant and an intern architect who graduated from the Master of Architecture Program at the University of Calgary. He writes a terrific blog about architecture in both lives, called Virtual Suburbia and he has a Second Life design shop, the Prion Design Group which is working on projects like a virtual vineyard, the Capozzi Winery based on the Russian River Valley winery in California. For Chad, the distinctions between spaces and our experiences of spaces in the real world and the virtual world are very similar and one can teach us a lot about the other. If you'd like more information about his work and ideas visit http://www.virtualsuburbia.com/ [7] If you're part of a educational or nonprofit group doing cool stuff in Second Life and would like to be featured in this podcast, or if you just have some show feedback please drop me a line at wmacphail@gmail.com [8]. Feel free to send me an audio comment at the same email address. In real life I run a company called w8nc. I help nonprofits and educators with emerging technology, like Second Life. http://w8nc.com [9]. Let me know if I can be of service. I'm Wayne MacPhail, Medium Helvetic in Second Life. Drop by if you're in game.
