Abstract:
Chinese architecture is unique in the eastern part of the world and one of the three major architectural systems in the world together with European architecture and Islamic architecture. With the trend of globalization and the development of cultural and entertainment industries in East Asian countries, we can find the shadow of ancient Chinese buildings in more and more games with oriental cultural backgrounds. Concept artists who can innovatively incorporate and assimilate Chinese architectural elements into their environments bring skills to the market that their competition lacks. This thesis will analyze the concept design of ancient Chinese architecture and modern game scenes respectively to show how concept designers apply and redesign ancient architecture in game scenes.
