Whether it’s punishing them for disobedience or just doing it for fun, it’s your hell and your rules! Then you’ll eventually be able to move forward and focus on finding creative ways of making the sinners sent to your humble abode suffer. And before you jump into finding fancy ways of torturing your sinners - that’s what they’re supposed to get in hell, right? - you’ll first need to build some basic buildings, power stations, toilets (sorry to disappoint, but some things remain the same, even in hell) or DIY homes (okay, that’s just a fancy marketing name for decaying cardboard) for your sinners. Well, you’ll have the open space, but other than that, the rest will depend on you. You’ll start with the very basics - so… kinda nothing. Of course, it’s not like you’ll enter the underworld and it’ll be done and ready, waiting for you to rule. Hell Architect is a tycoon and city builder game, allowing you to design, fill with sinners, build, and then manage your own hell. You’ll make him green with envy and fall of his chair once you show him how managing the nine circles of hell - or five hellish squares, or one long labyrinth, or whatever other diabolical design you’ll come up with - is supposed to be done.Īdd the game to your wishlist on Steam to not miss the news on when the exact November date of the Kickstarter launch will be announced.

In addition to Musashino Art University Museum & Library, published in 2010, he is also the author of the best-selling 2008 book Primitive Future.Become a manager from hell in Hell Architect, that’s coming to Kickstarter in November Infinity.įujimoto’s attraction to books includes writing them. Sou Fujumoto: Prim itive Future, 2008 (INAX)įujimoto comments about this book, “Libraries could be beyond architecture”-and we are left, interestingly and perhaps a touch mysteriously, to wonder if he means it as a suggestion for us to ponder or as an explanation of his quest in the Musashino building for “no ceilings no roof.”Ībout Borges, Fujimoto says that not only has he been inspired by “The Library of Babel” but also that he likes “all of Borges’s works” for their “spinning sensation in infinite time and infinite space.” And, as is evident in his work, Fujimoto embraces the idea of “seeing the world from a totally different point of view,” which is how he describes the books written by physicist George Gamow, including One Two Three. Included is Libraries-photographer Candida Höfer’s book of radiant and serene photographs of the world’s most famed book collections, from Paris, Rome, New York, Hamburg, and beyond. The orientation, values, and worldview that are embedded in the story of the Musashino library are all reflected in the book list that Fujimoto provided to Designers & Books. When Fujimoto spoke about this project in a lecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design earlier this year,** he said simply: “If you like books, this is book heaven if you don’t like books, this is hell!” During the lecture Fujimoto talks about the influence on him of Jorge Luis Borges’s story “The Library of Babel” the way that layering, openings, and hidden spaces are incorporated into the design of the interior spaces-and why and the details of his choice of translucent polycarbonate materials for the ceilings-a choice that helped him achieve a long sought-after sense of “light flowing above,” creating the effect of “rooms having no ceiling” and “architecture without a roof.” Sou Fujimoto: Musashino Art University Museum & Library, 2010 (INAX) About the Musashino Art University Museum and Library (Tokyo), designed by Fujimoto and completed in 2010, Architectural Record remarked: “Sou Fujimoto’s library champions books-an especially noble achievement at a time when the printed word is facing an uncertain future.” The architect himself is quoted in that article as saying: “Enjoying, concentrating, and relaxing in a library surrounded by books is a special experience.”* Architect Sou Fujimoto: Sou Fujimoto Architects (Tokyo)ĭesigners & Books is likely to take immediate notice of architects who have particular ties to books-for example, those who have designed libraries, as Sou Fujimoto has.
