  • Playing, Mapping, and Power a Critical Analysis of Using Minecraft in Spatial Design • Hamza Bashandy
    Playing, Mapping, and Power A Critical Analysis of Using Minecraft in Spatial Design • Hamza Bashandy Investigating the potential of video games as an aid to community mapping and participatory architectural design, the author discusses the use of the sandbox game Minecraft by the Block by Block Foundation in collaboration with Mojang Studios, Microsoft, and UN-Habitat for three projects—Model Street (Dandora Phase 2, in Nairobi, Kenya), Mind the Step (Jardim Naka- mura, in São Paulo, Brazil) and Former Marketplace (in Pristina, Kosovo). The author offers different perspectives or “lens” from which to view the projects, including as an architect (which he calls a spatial lens) and as a community member (which he dubs a player lens). Favoring agency over participant choices, he claims, the institutional forces at work can prevent true access to space making by either the foundation or the game, each of which suffers from accessibility problems for both players and the communi- ties. He argues for a need to look more closely into the politics of the Block by Block Foundation and Minecraft and seeks to make readers explicitly aware of the systemic mechanisms of exclusion. Key words: democracy and public space; marginalized communities; Minecraft; participatory design; power hierarchies; video games People around the world use digital media to aid civic participation and promote social justice. Many governmental and community organizations have changed their mission and functions as they adopt new digital tools and practices (Gordon and Mihailidis 2016). Similarly, digital games have been seen as a very potent vehicle adopted by many large-scale institutions such as the United Nations Human Settlement Program (UN-Habitat).

  • Spawn This: Minecraft As a Virtual World
    Spawn This: Minecraft as a Virtual World (presented at Society for Cinema and Media Studies Conference in Montreal, March 2015 and part of a longer essay) Lori Landay, Berklee College of Music à advance in Prezi http://prezi.com/41ifd5nd_erz/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share *à*In 2006, cover stories in Wired and Business Week hyped virtual worlds, speculating that “Virtual worlds may end up playing an even more sweeping role -- as far more intuitive portals into the vast resources of the entire Internet than today's World Wide Web.”1 Second Life and Open Sim grids still have a dedicated user base, as do habbo and Disney’s Club Penguin, but there.com, Google’s lively, facebook’s Cloud Party, and LEGO Universe are all defunct. The promise glimpsed in those virtual worlds has not materialized—or virtualized—in a mainstream way. Until now, with Minecraft. Although it does not look or at first seem like what proponents of virtual worlds have been waiting for, Minecraft is the breakthrough success for virtual worlds. To be sure, there are other transmedial imaginary worlds that are participatory and brimming with user-generated content. There have been player-created servers that mod a game in new narrative, gameplay, and social directions, and create vibrant communities. But no game or other transmedial IP has approached the size or the scope of Minecraft, and its players use Minecraft as a portal into disparate media experiences, including other franchises, to an unprecedented degree. In thinking through how what has emerged through the Minecraft phenomenon has redefined what a virtual world is, this presentation explores three interrelated questions: *à*What does it mean to consider Minecraft as a virtual world? Why has it succeeded as the breakthrough virtual world? How does transmedial experience factor into Minecraft as a virtual world? First, some information about Minecraft that helps us understand how a low-res looking video game spawned a virtual world.

  • 'Cultural Software' in Architectural Education
    Code-breaking: curiosity through the critical examination of ‘cultural software’ in architectural education Luke Pearson The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, UK ABSTRACT As computational technologies continue to proliferate in architectural education, from digital fabrication and parametric design to BIM, the underlying socio-political implications of the software used every day by students is rarely questioned. This paper will call for architectural educators and their students to examine where our reliance on software of all forms is leading the profession. Lev Manovich’s writings on new media have exposed how the type of creative software packages we teach students to use, which he terms cultural software, have developed on a trajectory that both simulates and subsequently extends traditional modes of representation. Manovich defines how Photoshop has affected visual tradition, transforming the collage from a radical statement performed through pictorial juxtapositions to the smoothed and blended apolitical imagery we see in the contemporary architectural rendering. Likewise, the proliferation of software for leisure such as social media and videogames and the influence they have on the politics of the user has been discussed in the works of Manovich, Ian Bogost and Alexander Galloway, however not with a specific focus on their meaning for architectural education and practice. This paper considers the ways in which architectural students can become more curious about the software they use to design, communicate and mediate the city around them, and how they can shape the politics of the profession through this attitude. The paper will introduce a series of case studies, outlining strategies for curiosity through reference to design projects including work produced by students of my studio.

  • A LEVEL MEDIA STUDIES Factsheet
    A LEVEL MEDIA STUDIES Factsheet Video games: Minecraft Overview • Minecraft is the second most successful video game of all time behind Tetris. • It was created and designed by Markus Persson, a game programmer, who also developed and published the game through his company Mojang. A full version of the game went on release in November 2011. • To date, well over 121 million copies have been sold across all platforms, including over 27 million PC copies, making it the biggest selling PC game of all time. This fact sheet introduces Minecraft as a case study to explore how the media industries’ processes of production, distribution and circulation affect media forms and platforms. It also considers how Minecraft targets, reaches and addresses customers and examines the way in which audiences have reacted to the game both as consumers and prosumers themselves.
