Just thought I'd share a video showcasing about the indie game Fez (still in development).

Teaser Trailer here

Better demo video here, starting at 5:28

(The very cool Crayon Physics game, wherein objects you create by drawing immediately start behaving according to Newtonian physics, starts at 2:08 in the same video.)

Readings for Thursday Feb 19th class discussion

[revised by agnes]
Hi all,

There are three readings for class discussion tomorrow, all posted in the syllabus. It might seem like a lot, but they are all pretty easy reads so you can read quickly and catch what interests you.

1. Body, Personal Relations, and Spatial Values in Space and Place by Yi-Fu Tuan
: 20 pages, with a few diagrams, but should be a relatively fast read. He discusses how spatial divisions and values originate from the human body, and how space and experience of spaciousness affects how we perceive more abstract things like competence or freedom.

2. Selections from A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction by Christopher Alexander

Watermarks Project + Saudi Aramco Control Center
