Something like this has never happened before! Natalia Dymarska (a member of Urbanmodel) designed a Green Estate in Gliwice based on the Housing Estate Game!
The thesis entitled “Urban planning and architectural concept of a residential and service development complex in Gen. Władysława Andersa Street in Gliwice. Design concept using pro-environmental solutions on the basis of models of the Housing Estate Game” was carried out under the supervision of Tomasz Bradecki.

Thank you to our fans and buyers, we have sold out of the first series of cards in the online shop https://esklep.polsl.pl/shop-full-width/strona-glowna-2/gadzety/gra-w-osiedle/.
Please be patient, a reprint is in progress: the next series will be in the shop at the end of November 2023. We are delighted with the success and interest and the many enquiries. At the same time, we would like to inform you that further series are in the pipeline, including a series of sponsor cards.
Did you know that our cards come in more than just paper versions? 👀 Thanks to augmented reality you can display them wherever you want- on the floor, desk, at home or at school! 🏫And how to do it ? 🤓
install Augment app 📲
scan the QR code of the model of your choice either with your camera or directly from the position of the app
designate the surface on which you will place the model
successful! 🤩 Now you can freely move and rotate the model on the screen of your phone and view it from all sides
During the Night of Scientists of the Silesian University of Technology on 07.10.2023 we tested the prototype of the Settlement Game, a card game, urban game, board game
Official trailer showing the capabilities and uses of the housing estate game cards. Each card refers to a 3D model. These cards/models can be combined to create virtual settlements. The video shows one of the settlements created by students, a study of the models in augmented reality and in 3D software. At the same time, it is an illustration of an expanded EKO settlement in one of the games proposed by the authors.
In the housing estate game, we attempted to explore models in real life using the free AUGMENT app on cell phones. The posted graphics show actual photos, without processing. The app allows real-time exploration of the model on any flat surface.
On 2023.06.19 we hosted at the Faculty of Architecture more than 30 doctoral students from more than a dozen different countries around the world representing various specialties. During the meeting they tested a prototype of a card game, an urban planning game titled HOUSING ESTATE GAME . The meeting was aimed at testing the possibility of playing various games by participants without professional knowledge (education in urban planning/architecture/there were only two people in the group specialized in architcture). Trials of the games ‘BLACKJACK – WAR OF INDICATORS’ ‘SOLITAIRE’ and ‘HOUSING ESTATE GAME’ were conducted, as well as trials with augmented reality.

The event was one of many interdisciplinary summer school INTRAGEN https://portal.polsl.pl/intragen/ co-created by several faculties, subsidized under the SPINAKER program thanks to NAWA – National Agency for Academic Exchange under the leadership of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (M. Stępień, Ph.D.). It was also an opportunity to visit the technical and engineering part of Arena Gliwice. Thank you @ArenaGliwice for your cooperation.
The cards can be used professionally to experiment with variant concepts of residential development: below are examples from the engineering diplomas of Eng. arch. Natalia Dymarska and Eng. arch. Marta Sanigórska promoter dr. hab. inż. arch. Tomasz Bradecki
Exhibition Models in the ‘Housing estate game’ – urban planning card game, exhibition of the Urbanmodel.org research group team, exhibition summarizing the faculty Models of sustainable housing complexes – students sem.VI, 1st st. academic year 202/2023 , exhibition curator, circle supervisor dr. hab. arch. Tomasz Bradecki
2023.06.02 – 2023.06.09 Gallery of the Faculty of Architecture, main hall, Akademicka 7, Gliwice.
The exhibition presents the effect of the project entitled “Game of Settlement – Urbanmodel scientific circle – models of playing cards, rules of the game and models of settlements made during the game.
The exhibition presents the semester works of the students of the 6th semester of the course Sustainable Housing Complexes. The works present models of selected housing complexes that can be considered sustainable, or have the characteristics of such settlements. The works present models made analogously to models for the settlement game.
The settlement game is aimed at drawing attention to the problem of intensification of residential development and shaping the space of settlements. To this end, a theoretical approach is used, which draws on didactic and popularization activities.
