What The UWA Guidlines mean to you as a Builder

As I mentioned in an earlier post the UWA Flagship Challenge is a very unique one in that it is specific to what the winning entries must provide to be considered in the competition. Most builders in SL are accustom to having clients either select a prefab we have built based on the experience you have gathered from selling what sells to custom builds for clients that know what they want but can't define it until they see mindset.

After reading the UWA Flagship Challenge portion of the note I realized there was a few things I was not that familiar with in regards to some of the terms used in it.
The following is the purpose of the building:

**AXS/lab will incorporate a cinematheque, a black box performance / installation space, a science/art gallery, wet-labs, offices and teaching and presentation spaces for a range of activities across campus.**

So here is a contest to create a building that has a specific purpose and I was not familiar with some of the terms or the purpose of there use. So if you are not familiar with these terms or uses I suggest the following course of action.

The best place to learn about what these terms and purposes are is to do research on them individually and to do research on the Departments of the University that are using these facilities. I am not giving you links to or definitions of what they are or what they do. This is part of the contest that as a builder you must explore and learn for your self. So read the above section and the UWA Imagine & Flagship Challenge note and start your research. I will also suggest you learn a little about the community and area that the build will be built in Perth. You can drop a note card to Jay Jay Zifanwe from the UWA sim an IM on that info. The more you learn the better it will help you in designing and creating a build that will fit the requirements of the challenge.

I have included pictures of the winning builds for the first half of the year. As the rules and defintion of the Flagship Challenge became more specific you will see some of the builds following the guidelines but sadly many are not built specific for the contest yet.


Good Luck
