We might be surrounded by the built world, but the work of many architects only liveson paper, designing buildingsthat no one will ever experience beyond a rendering or model. It feels like wasted talent. Videogames and the architecture inside them, on the other hand, straddle the line between paper and reality. While you cant necessarily touch the city, you can viscerally experience it nonetheless.

A new videogame called HomeMake (raising funds on Kickstarter), takes you inside a glowing, sprawling world with the express purpose of exploring its architecture and winding streets. Traditional game play exists in the form of puzzles and getting from point A to point B, but by and large the point of HomeMake is to simply observe your surroundings.
