URBAN GAME TWO
Urban Game 2
The second Urban Game was based on the same limited rules
but it was also based on a much larger level of prison building
elimination, only leaving the yellow front building in position so
that the main entrance building to the new neighborhood was
left in place according to the Roman urban rules for the'Centro
Storico', This game was played without the curator so that students
got a sense of what it means through own group experience.
It was noted that some of the experienced designers tended
to take over, and it also showed that more than one prison
building might be helpful for a next round, because it helped to
create stability and centeredness in the design structure of the
neighborhood. Furthermore, the use of the heavy prison wall for
design and building purposes became a matter of interest. An
exercise in between, where everybody should create his or her
own inclusive urban neighborhood, showed that may designs
were allotted along the external walls of the prison. In addition,
this game also started to indicate the growing complexity of this
urban game, and consequently a simplification was put into
place.
