==About==
==About==
Caelon shall be a city loosely inspired by architecture of Early Byzantine, to try push a style which is not prevalent within the community. This will combine with oriental architecture for a region of the city, playing with the interaction of these cultures. The aim will be, as before, to create a hub for the community within an aesthetically pleasing and cohesive build, this time with an emphasis on verticality, making use of 1.18's extended world height.
Caelon was a Byzantine-inspired city, succeeding the sur4 City of [[Gaia]], created by the same group. As before, it aimed to create a space which could facilitate community interaction, whilst also creating an aesthetically pleasing project in a unique style.
 
The city imagined itself as consisting of byzantine-inspired architecture combining with elements and technology which might be associated with the steampunk, and the 20th century. The understanding of the "byzantine" architectural style was predominantly  taken from artistic impressions of Constantinople, which is modern-day Istanbul. A strong emphasis was placed on verticality, making use of custom terrain which stretched skywards, providing multiple interconnected vertically adjacent planes, onto which builds could perch. The key features of the terraforming were white cliffs, partially inspired by those of Dover, making use of 1.18's introduction of calcite. Beneath these lie black-sanded beaches, and above lies a more standard grassy landscape.

==Management==
Caelon's management inherited much of the structure and many of the members of Gaia. The council formed a central group which ran the city, within a larger senate, wherein were other members who support the council, but were generally less involved with the running of Caelon.

Hence, the general layout of Caelon will be an island, with the use of white cliffs, and black-sand beaches, connected to the mainland via a long bridge; the island itself will stretch skywards, allowing for buildings to be placed at various heights. This will be terraformed from scratch, allowing for great control over the terrain.

Caelon was a large city-build on the Survival 5 world of the Dogcraft Server.

About

Caelon was a Byzantine-inspired city, succeeding the sur4 City of Gaia, created by the same group. As before, it aimed to create a space which could facilitate community interaction, whilst also creating an aesthetically pleasing project in a unique style.

The city imagined itself as consisting of byzantine-inspired architecture combining with elements and technology which might be associated with the steampunk, and the 20th century. The understanding of the "byzantine" architectural style was predominantly taken from artistic impressions of Constantinople, which is modern-day Istanbul. A strong emphasis was placed on verticality, making use of custom terrain which stretched skywards, providing multiple interconnected vertically adjacent planes, onto which builds could perch. The key features of the terraforming were white cliffs, partially inspired by those of Dover, making use of 1.18's introduction of calcite. Beneath these lie black-sanded beaches, and above lies a more standard grassy landscape.
