Biography

Aaron Westre is an adjunct instructor at the University of Minnesota School of Architecture and founder of Artificial Natures, a design studio specializing in building custom software for architects and designers.

"In Design Games for Architecture, Aaron Westre provides the design disciplines with a valuable, engaging, and inspiring work that opens the doors to the powerful potentials of gaming to generate innovative designs and inspire new modes of design thinking."

David Newton, School of Architecture, McGill University, USA

"Design Games for Architecture introduces 'tools that are played rather than simply used.' Using five jargon-free projects arrayed on a gentle learning curve in the cross-platform Unity 3D game environment Westre covers the basics of JavaScript programming, models progressive refinement of applications, and makes a strong case for designers mixing code with their design process."

Brian R. Johnson, Department of Architecture, University of Washington, USA
