My first attempt of building my initial idea for oggb on 2ndlife.
The site ive chosen is the lecture room down below in lvl 0. It has a slope which extend downwards underneath lvl 0.

From my understanding of oggb from the previous inhabit project, i want to develop on the idea of ribbons and lightweight of the glass facade on the exterior of the building. While making "ribbon" sculpties on 3ds max, it turn into feathers instead.
I thought of how feathers are lightweight and also reflect the idea of flow effectively like ribbons. Hence, my idea developed into feathers.

The glass on the exterior of oggb looks as if a bird spreading its wings welcoming the student or any visitors. Hence, i want to create the same effect in my design.
I changed the texture of my "feathers" structure into metallic to convey the idea of a lightweight objet but dense, unable to fly. This is because even tho the curve ribbons on oggb looks lightweight, it's still stuck on the dense oggb building, making it looks heavy and stuck.

The wings created an arch that welcomes the students/passbyers and move according to their movements. This allows the person and the building to interact with each other.
I also want to bring in nature elements into the building.
