On Thursday, June 20, a Board Game Day was held at the Tadeusz Kosciuszko Mechanical and Electrical School Complex in Rybnik.
As part of the event, we played the “Settlement Game,” the aim of which is to make urban planning as convenient as possible. The game was created ma the Silesian University of Technology by the scientific circle Urban Model. The workshop was held as part of the project Social Responsibility of Science II, subsidized from the state budget by the Minister of Education. Thank you for the invitation of the Center for Continuing Education – branch of the Silesian University of Technology in RybnikCenter for Continuing Education POLSL in Rybnik and the Complex of Mechanical-Electrical Schools in Rybnik

‘The Housing estate Game’ has been officially submitted for the 17th INTARG® International Trade Fair for Inventions and Innovations – in Katowice On May 21, 22, 23 – a multi-industry event with a wide impact – interdisciplinary, national and international.https://intarg.exposupport.pl/invention/E4ADE204845B/0C37C62CFFFB
Last week, on 25.04.2024, we played the Settlement Game at Kato Science Corner x Metrolab GZM with housing estate councilors from Katowice…. all as part of a joint project by the Faculty of Architecture of the Silesian University of Technology together with the GZM. The Upper Silesian and Zagłębie Metropolis ..thanks to the Metropolis, we have realised a dedicated individual series of cards with the logo of the metropolis and are gaining new experiences not only in board games but also in logic thanks to cooperation with players from different backgrounds.
Meanwhile, our HOUSING ESTATE GAME debuts as a board game during the inauguration of the Student Innovation Center together with Marta and Igor. Selected scientific groups took part in the presentation.
We would like to invite you together with @Kato Science Corner to an event entitled: “HOUSING ESTATE GAME, Card Game, Board Game” during which a short lecture will be presented and workshops will be held on architecture, spatial planning and urban design based on the card game “Game of the Village” – www.grawosiedle.polsl.pl .Place: Kato Science Corner, Młyńska 2, Katowice
Deadline: 11.04.2024, 17.00 hours
Duration: ca 2hWorkshops open to allWe expect 25 people): please sign up on FB- I will take part and or at: tomasz.bradecki@polsl.pl , tel. 793090078
Organisers: Silesian Urban Metropolis, Faculty of Architecture, Silesian University of Technology, Urbanmodel Scientific AssociationThe workshop is led by Tomasz Bradecki, Ph. Tomasz Bradecki, Professor of Architecture, Silesian University of Technology, together with members of the Urbanmodel Research Group.
Description of the game:The aim of the settlement game is to draw attention to the problem of intensification of housing development and shaping the space of settlements. It uses a theoretical approach that draws on didactic and popularisation activities.
The game is universal for different age groups and can be used as a classic card game. It has 2 decks, i.e. 2D and 3D – this makes it easier to imagine what the different buildings look like. The cards refer to 3D models that can be used to create virtual settlements. As in computer games, rules and different levels of play have been prepared. The 3D deck offers beginners a game of points, the number of which depends on the value of urban indicators. The 2D deck allows you to lay out settlement plans and can be used for board-like games; no board is needed, no specialised rules are needed. The 3D deck can be useful for advanced players. 3D models prepared by the authors can be downloaded, and it is possible to create 3D settlements based on them, just like when playing with blocks.
All the elements of the settlement game designed by the authors are intended to show the role and importance of urban indicators and parameters that determine the character of a development.
Cards 2 to 10 represent residential development layouts in a cumulative manner – the higher the card value, the higher the development intensity (number of dwellings per hectare). The lowest values are represented as single-family, low- and medium-intensity multi-family buildings.Instructions of the workshop:1.Introduction of the presenter: Urban planning indicators and parameters in residential development.10 min2.Introduction to the OSIEDLE game and the system of cards 10 min
Demonstration of cards, presentation of cards in augmented reality3.Division into groups (2 or 3 or 4 groups) approx. 5 min4. GAMES IN THE ENVIRONMENT at beginner level – indicator war, solitaire, – games aimed at familiarising the participants with the possibilities of the cards and evaluating the use of the cards – 20 min to 30 min5.GAMES IN THE ENVIRONMENT at intermediate level – games aimed at understanding the role of the indicators and consciously shaping the space of the housing estate with the realisation of the task of CREATING e.g. an ECO-HOUSE, or a developer housing estate, a resident housing estate, a housing estate of a specific intensity 20 min to 40 min
Optional (if time remains and participants agree)
6.HOUSING ESTATE GAME – intermediate and advanced level – using cards and boards (playing time is min. 50 minutes) – players use special boards and invest in order to develop the plots more effectively.

Report 1 of 5 from 03.07. KatoCorner Metrolab workshops thanks to the cooperation with Gzm Thanks to the cooperation of the URBANMODEL Scientific Circle at the Faculty of Architecture of the Silesian University of Technology with the GZM METROPOLY, a limited series of cards for the OSIEDLE GAME with the GZM logo was created. These cards are used during workshops with young people in the Katowice KATOCorner/ METROLAB in connection with the ongoing project KATOWICE – City of Science. As part of the cooperation we are carrying out 5 thematic workshops , during which we are testing a prototype of a board game that complements the OSIEDLE GAME Cards. The board game provides an opportunity to simulate the investment process in the planning and development of an estate. During the workshop, participants learn what urban indicators are, how to plan an estate, take on the roles of a developer, environmentalist, planner or resident and invest funds in selected plots of land. The estate game is inspired by the board game MONOPOLY and is scheduled for release at the end of 2024.
