Overview
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.
