Architectural Experiences on Virtual Reality Gaming

I love playing games, on PC or other consoles.
In recent days gaming world is become more spectacular & variety type of games.
Several years ago, I found the first virtual 3D base gaming in Wolfenstein by id-Softrawe, and I can say this game is a legend. In this game we walked along in the room & shooted the enemies we found.
I was amazed about it. the " id" made the virtual reality worlds that needs the knowledge of architecture. The layout-plans are stunt with the mazes & the sequents so great. We have to do something to get the target like hidden treasure or to the next level.

And further, "id" made more great game with "Doom". With the improved knowledge & hardwares, Doom had more sophisticated images & advance graphic, and I was still a student at that time with the 486 PC. In a view moment this game become popular & coming up the World Map Editor (WAD file) that we can created the map ourselves.
In the present day, the technology of gaming become a great business until it use BlueRay format like on Sony PS3, Microsoft XBox, or Nintendo Wii and in the variety of game types.

In my opinion in architecture way, science or knowledge will become more complex. We can learn & modernize our mind from a dream by playing the game like these. How to build the plans, texture, environtment, sequential scheme, & other essences the can be feel so real.

But, beside the positives impact of this kind, always be able to pull the negative effect of gaming experience. So that we can wisely choosing by using the positive aspects for gaming.

The Competitions to Reach The Sky


The high-rise building are some among many other high-risers.
What are the urgents?
In modern era, the tall building is an option to spend more space on a limited land's spaces. In architectures this can be a great monumental portrait on the earth & could be legends. It has characters, styles, memories, creatives, symbol of something important, status, richness, or welfares. Or even the greatest more applications.

Meanwhile, what about anything on the bottom or base on these talls?
Peoples are miniatures. What is the origins of needs of life anyway?
Humans need food, fresh air, water, sunshine. And the plants? how can they live without sunshine like grass. These are all the energy of life. On earth.

For me, there always be contradictions for all we do to survive.

Home is Better Than House

Menurut Wikipedia, Arsitektur adalah bidang multi-dispilin, termasuk di dalamnya adalah matematika, sains, seni, teknologi, humaniora, politik, sejarah, filsafat, dan sebagainya.

Maka menurut pandangan saya, 'arsitektur' yang dalam tulisan ini saya symbolkan dengan 'rumah' itu harus dapat menampung aspek kegiatan kehidupan manusia yang berada dalam rumah itu. Sehingga rumah itu akan menjadi rumah yang mempunyai atau mewakili jiwa dari manusia yang menempatinya dan itu yang saya symbolkan dengan 'home'.

Dan dari ide tersebut, saya sedang berusaha memperluas wawasan & berbagi pengalaman yang telah saya lalui bahwa rumah seharusnya berjiwa (soul), dan menjadi bagian dari kehidupan manusia yang menempati.
