Overview

Estevez1.png


Viverian Architecture is a Minecraft building style used by many players on SimPvP and similar anarchy and survival servers. The style has developed through years of players attempting to balance three qualities: durability, affordability, and beauty. Viverian Architecture relies primarily on stone brick and stone slabs, as these materials are thought to provide the ideal mixture of the three qualities.

Viverian Architecture takes inspiration from historical Vitruvian architecture and its three virtues: firmitas, which becomes durability, utilitas, which becomes affordability, and venustas, which translates to beautyl. For these same three reasons, Vivierian Architecture draws heavy inspiration from Greco-Roman and Neoclassical architecture of Earth. Echoing real history, Viverian Architecture is heavily associated with the Imperial Architecture of SimPvP's distant past.

The stylistic and material choices of Viverian Architects have been criticized by various players, but it has determined that no major changes could be made without sacrificing at least one of the three virtues.

Basic Viverian Architecture is designed to provide a simple but respectable house to a builder of good taste but limited skills or resources. It is not designed to be better than true architecture, but only to be better than a dirt or cobble cube house.

Foundation

The fundamental unit of Basic Viverian Architecture is a cobblestone square of an odd width and length (i.e. 5, 7, 9).

Windows

Simple Viverian windows are often 1 wide by 3 tall gaps between thin stone pillars, based on a simplified version of classical Greek pillars.

Roof

The ideal roof material for Basic style is stone slabs, usually in a simple pyramidal shape.
