An Architect's Guide to Creating Expressive Game Environments
Architecture and game design are both spatial artforms, modes of expression that can learn a great deal from one another.
Come on a journey with an architect-turned-game designer through some of the most expressive examples of architecture in games and elsewhere, exploring what makes them so powerfully affective through two lenses: their relationship to their context, and their relationship to their inhabitants.
