The House Factory Game was devised by Dr. Cecilia Gravina da Rocha in 2012 and has been published in ASCE. Since 2012, Dr. Luciana Miron has been applying this game as a teaching tool for the Course of Management (which is part of the Architecture and Urbanism Degree, at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul – UFRGS).
This site aims to disseminate the House Factory Game as we believe it is powerful tool to convey mass customization to a wide audience. Although the game has been mainly applied in an academic context, we believe that practitioners and the industry can also benefit from it. Here you can find all resources needed for playing the game. We hope you enjoy it and we would love to hear your feedback on it.
The team responsible for the creation of the game and the website is composed of the following people:
