Space time play : computer games, architecture and urbanism : the next level

Computer and video games are leaving the PC and conquering the arena of everyday life in the form of mobile applications (such as GPS cell phones, etc.) the result is new types of cities and architecture. How do these games alter our perception of real and virtual space? What can the designers of physical and digital worlds learn from one another? Space Time Play presents the following themes: the superimposition of computer games on real spaces and convergences of real and imaginary playspaces; computer and video games as practical planning instruments.

Wie verndern diese Spiele unsere Wahrnehmung von realem und virtuellem Raum? Was knnen die Gestalter physischer und digitaler Welten von einander lernen? Space Time Play stellt folgende Themen Architekturgeschichte von Computer- und Videospielen; Virtuelle Metropolen und ihre sozialen Spielrume; realrumliche berlagerungen durch Computerspiele und Konvergenzen zwischen realen und imaginierten Spielrumen; Computer- und Videospiele als praktische Planungsinstrumente.

As a comprehensive and interdisciplinary compendium, "Space Time Play" explores the architectural history of computer games and the future of lucid space. More than 140 experts from game studies and the game industry, from architecture and urban planning, have contributed essays, game reviews and interviews. The games examined range from commercial products to artistic projects and from scientific experiments to spatial design and planning tools. "Space Time Play" is not just meant for architects, designers and gamers, but for all those who take an interest in the culture of digital games and the spaces within and modeled after them.
