Arquitetura em contexto digital: representações arquitetônicas a partir de jogos eletrônicos

Abstract

Resulting from the rapid development of technological advances, the transmission of information by media resources, made possible, mainly, the ease of connection between everything and everyone. Leveraged by the pandemic scenario caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which occurred from 2019, interaction through digital media was a prominent place, since face-to-face contact was considered a problem. Therefore, the world's population saw their homes as a place of refuge and remote interaction, using electronic games as a means of entertainment and leisure. In this perspective, it is observed that such instruments, in addition to ensure entertainment, have the capacity to promulgate knowledge regarding areas of professional activity. Thus, the purpose of the monograph is to promote the approximation of the relationship between digital games and the Architecture course, analyzing the spatial dynamics of the aforementioned means and their representations. The research exposes, through the software, resources that favor learning about the area, through the specificities of each one, based on its gameplay. It appears previously that the information available in the games and developed to the player in a playful way, stimulate essential skills for the graduation course during the game, either through the influence and pressure of the environment, as well as in contact with other “realities”, through an architecture that alludes to different thematic scenarios. So that at the end, based on the research, formulate a proposal for intervention in Course Completion Work 2, that reconciles digital games with architecture, in the generation of a thematic space that strengthens this relationship.
