While I Think of It...
















While I am blogging about ideas and inspiration for the adaptation of my design I figure I should probably write something about where the idea for the original design came from (See Above).


As I am designing a gaming arcade, I figured maybe I should play some video games to get some inspiration (or so I told myself to make it seem like I was doing something constructive, seems plausible right?). So Madden 10 was the game of choice, after many hours of play early one morning (much to my surprise) the game actually gave me an idea which I could possibly use (See Below).















Yes the original design was based on an american football play called the corner strike (In the Baltimore Ravens playbook for those interested).

However after the original idea of different paths, routes or flows came from Madden 10 I actually did some proper precedent research and found Zaha Hadid's contemporary arts building in Rome (See Below) which had a similar design concept with intersecting lines which helped in the final form I have now.
