Land+Living: The Architecture of Half-Life

Architecture, Misc — May 13, 2005 Posted by Anthony

Architects as gamers

I used to work with a couple of guys who were pretty hardcore gamers. They'd spend all hours of the night playing online games such as Half-Life and Unreal Tournament. One of the cool things about these games is that end-users can modify the "worlds" in which these games are played. With that in mind, here's what happens when you have a few gamers that also happen to know how to create an architectural rendering or two. Ah, now just imagine being able to take a sniper position in Pierre Koenig's Case Study No. 22 House.

...thanks for the image, I'll be laughing for a while over that one! Software for the gaming industry - largely free and easily integrated with standard 3D programs - can be a great visualization tool for design (+the sniper element makes for great stress relief)!
