Today is World Video Game Day or Gamer's Day, and I wanted to take advantage of the occasion to introduce myself, since I have never done it formally! My name is Elizabeth Frías and I am an architect from Universidad Iberoamericana, with a specialization in Game Design from the California Institute of the Arts.
I started The Gamer Architect because I wanted to create a community where both architects and gamers could have a space where they could share their favorite hobby: videogames. My favorite video game, World of Warcraft, was my inspiration for many projects created in my university career, and I always knew that the video game industry needed architects to create more livable spaces, just as architects needed the vision of game designers to create such magical spaces.
From there, The Gamer Architect was born, a community created to share the influence of architecture, design, and technology in video games and the gaming world.
Recently, we also joined the metaverse, and with the help of VR/AR and AI, we are exploring all the possibilities that we can create in this new era!
