Ideal City - Piero Della Francesca(1420-92)

This image entitled "Ideal City" painted by Piero Della Francesca(1420-92), was presented to us during the lecture of week 1.
"Piero della Francesca’s Ideal City (c. 1470), in the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, Urbino, Italy Piero della Francesca was one of the first painters to apply the perspective techniques of the architects Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti. Early perspective paintings often included a patterned pavement, as seen in this"

My instant thought of the image was that it is a very neat piece of work, especially in terms of its symmetry, which looks very accurate, but at the same time quite a polished look...

In relation to gaming, this sets the scene for an environment that can easily be used for a game. A first person shooter/adventure game comes to mind. The area looks mysterious in terms of its emptyness, but you could picture enemies (such as soldiers or zombies)hiding and lurking inbetween the buildings trying to kill you, whilst you also attempt to kill them in order to advance in the game.
