		By looking at physical architecture as a case study and metaphor for organizing space into meaningful places, this paper explores the possibility of organizing Cyberspace into spatial settings that not only afford social interaction, but, like physical places, also embody and express cultural values.
		Our approach differs from other experiments of designing virtual worlds in that it is founded on the principles that have guided architects, landscape architects, and town planners in their design of physical places for well over 5,000 years.
