As featured on BBC RADIO 4's Start the Week: an impressive look at the contemporary worlds of video games from an architectural perspective, using maps, diagrams, and graphic representations to offer new perspectives on the art of creating virtual worlds. The Videogame Atlas presents a journey through twelve well-known video games via panoramic maps, complex exploded diagrams, and detailed illustrations. The book offers a playful new way to view these beloved virtual worlds using the practices and academic rigor that underpins real-world architectural theory. Titles such as Minecraft, Assassin’s Creed Unity, and Final Fantasy VII are examined in exhaustive detail through more than 200 detailed illustrations of the small and the large, each with supportive commentary and architectural theory. Influenced by high-quality architectural monographs, the book is carefully designed down to the last detail, and its production is executed in a complex manner. This book, printed in five colors, with neon ink throughout, is a flagship work by Luke and Sandra, who founded the Videogame Urbanism studio at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, promoting the use of gaming technologies in architectural education.
