Abstract Details

2005, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
This thesis explores the psychological and architectural relationships between video gaming and architecture as they both relate to the senses in order to design an educational facility for video game development. Gestalt psychology has many theories of sensual perception, such as visual organization theories that can directly enhance or influence architectural content. Alternately, a “rejection” of Gestalt is explored to engage users in a conflicting experience. A design metaphor of space generation using the senses as a structural space-defining material is investigated along with exploring video game spatial structures in architecture. Sensual perception, spatial formation using the senses, and other design investigations of the interaction between architecture and video gaming are explored for design. Furthermore, this thesis also explores some of the other aspects of the overlap of architecture and video gaming, such as formal elements of the video game medium like spatial structures, imagery, and interactivity.
