# Gamer Console Architecture Joseph Ford Makes Every Little Boy's Dream Come True By Meghan Young | Published 2010-05-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joseph-ford References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/2010/05/20/if-i-were-president/) & [josephford.net](http://www.josephford.net/) Fubiz, you are so right--if I were President, I would totally commission Joseph Ford's visionary architectural concepts. Who wouldn't want buildings and monuments of video game consoles erected? I have to say, aside from the Nintendo DS, they would make for relatively standard structures. Created in collaboration with 3D artist Antoine Mairot and art director Mohamed Bareche, Joseph Ford photographed the captivating concept. Although I don't know much about the reason behind this shoot, I think the images are enough to tide you over. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gaming-inspired Architecture:** Opportunity for architects and designers to create unique and immersive spaces inspired by video game consoles. - **Interactive Building Design:** Opportunity to incorporate elements of interactivity and playfulness into architectural structures. - **Virtual Reality in Architecture:** Opportunity to use virtual reality technology to visualize and experience architectural designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for architects to explore new design concepts inspired by gaming. - **Gaming:** Opportunity for gaming companies to collaborate with architects and incorporate gaming elements into real-world structures. - **Virtual Reality:** Opportunity for VR companies to showcase architectural designs in virtual reality, providing immersive experiences for clients and stakeholders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handheld Gaming Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playfusion.md) - [Personalized Artful Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nak-studio.md) - [AI-Supporting Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronics-hub-art.md) - [3D Display Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplight-game-console.md) - [Contoured Gaming Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-5-console-concept.md) - [Industrial Handheld Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocketman-p1.md) - [Ultra-Compact Gamer Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-gaming-console.md) - [Shapeshifting Gamer Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-game-boy-famicon.md) - [Projector-Equipped Handheld Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-game-boy-concept.md)
