The Destination Guide features SL8B's LnL participation! A fantastic photo let's you take a glimpse at the interior of the Cathedral! :)******
Name of Project: The Gothic Experience
LnL Square welcomes you to "The Gothic Experience"! We aim at giving you a glimpse of the magic of the Gothic world in SL.
Elements: Gothic Architecture and Gothic Fashion
Did you know that...?
Gothic Architecture
... originated in the 12th century and lasted into the 16th century
...Gothic buildings were mostly cathedrals, abbeys and churches but also castles, town halls and universities
... its main characteristics are pointed arches, ribbed vaults and flying buttresses plus elaborate sculptures, emphasizing verticality and light
... the Gothic plan of a cathedral was cruciform, with a long nave, a transverse arm called the transept and beyond that the choir
...there was a revival of the Gothic style during the mid-18th century through the 19th and into the 20th century
Contemporary Gothic Fashion
... originated in the Victorian cult of mourning
... is characterised by a profusion of velvets, lace, leather, dark flowing capes, gloves, and ruffled cuffs
... its predominant colors are black, scarlet, purple and red
... is accessorized by religious, magical and macabre jewellery (bones, rosaries, pentacles, ankhs or skulls) in silver
... reflects a modern version of late Victorian excess
