Public Engagement and Play
Serious Games explores how game design can be used to engage citizens and stakeholders with complex social and environmental challenges in architecture and urbanism. The seminar, conducted in a workshop format, introduces students to the principles of serious games, emphasizing play, empathy, and participation as tools for public engagement and knowledge exchange. Through hands-on exercises, fieldwork, and collaborative micro-game projects, students learn to translate urban research and data into interactive experiences that both communicate and generate insights about the built environment.
