À propos de la quatrième de couverture

A dazzling look at modern videogame worlds seen through an architectural lens, utilizing maps, diagrams and graphic illustrations to offer new perspectives on the art of virtual world building. Videogame Atlas presents a journey through ten well-known videogame worlds via panoramic maps, intricate exploded diagrams and detailed illustrations. Taking influence from the speculative architecture of the 1960s, the book offers a playful new way of seeing these beloved virtual worlds using the practices and academic rigour that underpins real-world architectural theory. Titles such as Minecraft, Assassin’s Creed Unity and Final Fantasy VII are explored in exhaustive detail through over 200 detailed illustrations of the micro and macro, each with supporting commentary and architectural theory. Taking influence from high-end architectural monographs, the book is carefully designed to the smallest of details and its production is intricately executed. Videogame Atlas is a culmination of work begun by the Videogame Urbanism studio at the Bartlett School of Architecture, founded by authors Sandra Youkhana and Luke Caspar Pearson, in which they promote the use of game technologies in architectural education.
