The Housing Estate Game was created at the Silesian University of Technology

Architects from the Silesian University of Technology created a Housing Estate Game. It's a card game that aims to build awareness of planning the space we live in every day. The project was under the supervision of: dr hab. Eng. arch. Tomasz Bradecki, prof. SUT

Students from the URBANMODEL scientific club together with prof. Tomasz Bradecki presented the game during the Silesian Science Festival. The next opportunity to get acquainted with the cards will appear on January 26 during 4 Design Days in Katowice.

– This is not an ordinary card game. Its task is, on the one hand, to teach students, i.e. help in teaching, but on the other hand it is also a tool that shows certain ideas, e.g. how to shape a housing estate to create a resident-friendly space - explains the originator of the game.

How can you design a dream estate in a game? Just use the right cards. Each card in the deck represents the area of one hectare. It is up to the player which card he chooses and how many apartments and buildings, as well as trees, green areas and other important infrastructure of the estate will be planned on a given plot (card).
