Les années 1970 avaient déjà vu les grands bureaux d'études parapublics s’intéresser de près aux jeux de simulation urbaine essentiellement en provenance des États-Unis. Ces jeux qui empruntent au Monopoly et aux jeux de rôle étaient assidûment pratiqués au Ministère de l’équipement mais aussi par le milieu de la recherche appliquée. Ces jeux étaient et sont toujours considérés comme étant de nature à comprendre et faire comprendre « la boîte noire » de la production urbaine. Dans une première partie, l’enfance, et plus globalement les différentes phases d’apprentissage de la jeunesse, et le jeu comme pratique ou dispositif pédagogique sont les points communs des textes rassemblés. La seconde partie insiste sur le jeu de construction principalement comme l’aboutissement d’une vie passée à tester les ressources d’une vision du monde appliquée à l’architecture ou comme l’expression d’une fiction mise en scène pour séduire, enseigner ou convaincre. Enfin, la dernière partie tire les leçons du jeu, qu’il soit funny game ou serio ludere, en interrogeant les enjeux de la gamification des pratiques professionnelles de fabrication de la ville, tant dans les bureaux d’études, qu’en matière de transition environnementale et participation.

Created for children but designed by adults with considerable ingenuity, architectural toys have long offered a window on a much larger world. In Architecture in Play, Tamar Zinguer explores the nearly two-hundred-year period over which such playthings have reflected changing attitudes toward form, structure, and permanence, echoing modernist experiments and stylistic inclinations in fascinating ways while also incorporating technological advances in their systems of construction. Zinguer's history of these toys reveals broader social and economic trends from their respective periods. Used in the intimacy of the domestic environment, a setting that encouraged the eradication of formal habits and a reconceiving of visual orders, architectural toys ultimately intimated notions of the modern. Amply illustrated and engagingly written, this book sheds valuable light on this fascinating relation between household toys and the deeper trends and ideas from which they sprang... Focusing on four primary building materials (wood, stone, metal, and paper), Tamar Zinguer discusses a series of important architectural toys: Friedrich Froebel's Gifts (1836), cubes, spheres, and cylinders that are gradually broken down to smaller geometrical parts; Anchor Stone Building Blocks (1877), comprising hundreds of miniature stone shapes that yield castles, forts, and churches; Meccano (1901) and Erector Set (1911), including small metal girders to construct bridges and skyscrapers mimetic of contemporary steel structures; and The Toy (1950) and House of Cards (1952), designed by Charles and Ray Eames, which are lightweight cardboard 'kits of parts' based on methods of prefabrication.
