谁会不喜欢电子游戏呢？你可能觉得你已经过了那个年纪了，但要是遇上对的时间，对的游戏，你还是会沉迷游戏的。对于建筑是来说，玩游戏是可以寓教于乐的。他们可以在有趣的流线和建筑设置中获得灵感，在模仿中尝试各种解决城市或建筑问题的应对策略，以获取经验。当然啦，你可以用3D建模来实验，但那有什么乐趣？游戏里不用担心什么墙塌了或者人去楼空的后果，更像是闯关挑战。

我们这里有一些有趣的以建筑为主的游戏，小到住宅设计，大到星球殖民。

Who doesn’t love video games? You might think you have outgrown them but you will find yourself easily hooked given the chance and the right game. For architects, playing video games can be an educational experience as much as an entertainment. They can find inspiration in the architectural setting and playful circulation, or they can learn and gain experience by simulation.
Learning by simulation can be really useful, as one gets to experiment different design strategies for cities and buildings. That is something you can do, of course, using the usual 3D modeling software, but then, where is the fun in that? Games make the task more of a challenge than a mere experiment, and the good part is that there are no serious consequences. A structure may fall or a city can get abandoned, but then there were no actual humans there and no money was lost.
Here, we will give you a list of some of the most interesting architecture oriented games which deal with various scales that range from the interior design of the home to the colonization of a planet.
