Games and playfulness are serious tools for architects and urban designers. ‘Serious Fun’ dives into games conceived and created by architects, urban designers, artists, and game d evelopers since the end of the 20th century. The games are examined from both a game technical and an architectural critical point of view, where as much attention is paid to the games themselves as it is to playing them; and in particular, to the space that players either receive or take for their personal, spontaneous, unexpected, and subversive moves and ideas. The book concludes a trilogy about alternative forms of representation and communication in architecture and urban design. Cover image by Zupagrafika. Show more
