the school of architecture at the university of texas/austin was, at one time, very active
in designing virtual spaces. michael benedikt was the principle investigator.

I realize, I was talking about designs for city structures in the real world
and environment designs in upload VR.

Yes and I want to know people's fantasy worlds or what type of environment
they'd like to live in. The latter dealt with designs for city structures in
the real world.

Of course things will be completely different but why not fantacize (sp?)
now and use our creativity to come up with some good ideas on general design
themes so that we can begin building our worlds right after we're uploaded
having already thought the design through and as we get closer we can add to
it and make it more vivid? Also you meantion loss of time. What do you mean
loss of time? The singularity is right around the corner and you or I can do
nothing to stop it even if we wanted to. What could stop the singularity?
