Learning through Gaming
With Sim City taking gaming by storm, and simultaneously teaching kids about Urban Planning the American Society for Landscape Architects & Chris Marlow thought it pertinent to design a game for Landscape Architects. This game came into being with the help of a large team of student designers including myself, Pat Stout, Dan Buis, Kristin Riga, and Andy Burris.
This game attempts to utilize the popular tower defense gaming technique in which the player places items to neutralize enemies along a path. In this case the student is the designer of a city in which they place various park elements to create a desirable setting using good design principles and stormwater plants to promote good infiltration techniques. There are in game score bonuses for exceptional microclimates.
