Spoilsport will expand Voluptas' research on Play and Architecture. It will test Playfulness as critical design tool for deconstructing rule-making mechanisms and surpassing them. Students will play a typological design game based on collaborative competition: together defining criteria for success, competing towards answers to these criteria, and again collaborating in choosing the best answers.

This seminar will challenge students to take a complementary look onto the built environment through the lenses of Gaming, focusing on specific episodes in order to draw relations between the notions of Play/Game, Society and Architecture.

The seminar addresses a way of perceiving reality which has become key: through the lenses of Play and Gaming. Besides offering students steady footing on the makings of an architectural publication, It will provide students with a complementary, yet extremely relevant tool with which to approach architecture and urbanism.
