What if every part of our everyday life was turned into a game? The implications of "gamification."

Approaches, Issues, Applications

The Gameful World

â€œToward a Ludic Architectureâ€ is a pioneering publication, architecturally framing play and games as human practices in and of space. Filling the gap in literature, Steffen P. Walz considers game design theory and practice alongside architectural theory and practice, asking: how are play and games architected? What kind of architecture do they produce and in what way does architecture program play and games? What kind of architecture could be produced by playing and gameplaying?

How do these games alter our perception of real and virtual space? What can the designers of physical and digital worlds learn from one another?
