City One and "serious gaming"
By Chris Hodges posted on Tue, 2010-05-04 15:37 , 766 reads, 2 commentsA new city simulation game being released by IBM. It's apparently part of a growing interest in "serious gaming." May be a fun way to disperse hard questions to many people to find innovative solution. Could be especially useful in a university environment.
Maybe Sasaki can create games and release them on campuses and wait a few weeks for solutions to planning and design problems to roll in?

actually, gaming is a fabulous way to stimulate critical thinking that leads to design solutions. we use games quite a bit when we teach/do workshops at Srishti... (the design college i work with in bangalore)... whether it's looking at city/urban issues or product design.

I love the idea of using games to inform people! Whereas few people have the inclination to read more than a few lines of text before moving on to something else in our digital age, computer games are one of the few areas where the content keeps getting richer and more complex.
