Why churches?
Church Builder started life as the first of a set of proposed tools to
enable children to model their local heritage and place it on a shared virtual
world so that it would be visible to partner developers across Europe and
visitors from all over the world. Churches are usually the oldest and most
historical buildings in the locality and provide a rich subject for modelling.
It was also intended to show the heritage changing over time. Individual
churches have changed considerably over time with additions and alterations
made in different architectural styles. Also, physical changes were brought about by
changes in religious practices - for example the removal of wall paintings
during the English Reformation.
Church Builder provides an opportunity to create a dynamic model showing
how a church developed and changed over time.
