The Modern Architecture Game from NEXT Architects

Image courtesy of NEXT Architects via ArchinectAmsterdam- and Beijing-based NEXT Architects recently announced the release of the Modern Architecture Game--think Trivial Pursuit for the circular-lens-wearing set. The game includes almost 1,000 questions in six categories: Visuals, Architect, Project, Style, Influence, and Quote. According to a recent post about the game by Archinect, sample questions will include require such information as “who designed the TWA terminal at JFK Airport, NY. And in which year was CIAM founded, 1928, 1938 or 1948.” The architecture theme is faithfully maintained throughout, with a game board that recreates a construction drawing and miniatures of six famous buildings for game pieces. Game play also involves wearing a pair of glasses that should remind everyone of a certain Swiss architect (hint: it’s Le Corbusier).
