Session Name:

Your Architecture Designs You: How Architectural Principles Impact Gameplay and Experience

Overview:

Game environment design and architectural design share many of the same tools and principles, but their criteria are often very different. In this talk, architects Sandra Youkhana and Luke Caspar Pearson will explore the connection between game environments and architecture, discussing how the two disciplines can connect and provide new design opportunities. Sandra and Luke will speak about their research while making Videogame Atlas, a book exploring game worlds using architectural surveying and mapping methods. Discussing their architectural analysis of game worlds, Sandra and Luke will outline how the forces that shape our built environment can also guide digital environment design and that shared design approaches can bring the two industries closer together.
