  We study aspects of emergent geometry for the case of orbifold superconformal
field theories in four dimensions, where the orbifolds are abelian within the
AdS/CFT proposal. In particular, we show that the realization of emergent
geometry starting from the N=4 SYM theory in terms of a gas of particles in the
moduli space of vacua of a single D3 brane in flat space gets generalized to a
gas of particles on the moduli space of the corresponding orbifold conformal
field theory (a gas of D3 branes on the orbifold space). Our main purpose is to
show that this can be analyzed using the same techniques as in the N=4 SYM case
by using the method of images, including the measure effects associated to the
volume of the gauge orbit of the configurations. This measure effect gives an
effective repulsion between the particles that makes them condense into a
non-trivial vacuum configuration, and it is exactly these configurations that
lead to the geometry of X in the AdS x X dual field theory
