British design studio Zaha Hadid Architects joins forces with software developer Epic Games to create a parametric look of London as a part of the Re:Imagine London game. It is a continuation of the video game Fortnite where players are dropped onto the island on the city's waterfront. The style reflected buildings that are finished in the studio's signature style. Players can form their own architecture and combine it with other buildings on the site including the famed St Paul's Cathedral, Tate Modern, and more.
This is a great way to explore urban development and ais community engagement to walk through these areas. Zaha Hadid Architects shares, "The experience facilitates rapid optioneering through an engaging and exploratory approach to negotiating the complexities of the urban condition to build collaboratively in a contemporary context. The build content within Re:Imagine London is crafted in various scales as pre-composed spatial scenes, expressing architectural, geometric and spatial features consistent with out built works while contributing to the planning and constructional awareness of configured solutions."
