title: PLAY HOUSE, playhouse: Gaming Architecture of the Domestic

creator: Aly Mancuso

subject: Game theory; Architects and community; Architecture and society

description: Architecture is the ultimate game of society, and play must be re-imagined as a productive means to work with others andunderstand the communities which architects have commonly forgotten. The way that spaces are designed can reveal domesticissues within the home, and by role-playing their lives, players are able to rethink domestic space. PLAY HOUSE, playhouse is a game that produces a series of actions and interactions in thedomestic sphere. This game acts as a method of communication between architects and communities by providing the spatial evidence of relationships and domestic activities that occurwithin the home. This game then opens up the playhouse for lives within different global contexts. From across the world, individual players and communities at large can author the playhouse for their particular domestic sphere.
