Some games actually hire architects - even then, it's usually to make sure buildings make sense. Level design is a field of game development that is separate from the needs and interests of architecture, but I'm sure some architects would find it interesting to dissect such spaces.

Ooooh! Enfilade was a new term for me. I really hadn't consciously realized that museums are a series of rooms. It makes sense now because lots of historic places I've visited were residences turned museums. In my mind, I thought of the series of rooms as very residential and French. And the museum was just working with the existing architecture. But even newly constructed museums follow this same concept! Huh! Love the word! Also, KZitem suggested your channel to me today and I immediately subscribed after watching 1 video. The algorithm knows!

As soon as you said ‘C’ is for Corridor, I knew ‘E’ would be for Enfilade. I still love it when I find this situation in homes. It is so light and airy. I was, however, definitely wrong when it came to predicting which terms you’d use for several of the letters. For some reason, I figured ‘P’ would refer to Palladian (as in a window) or palladiana. Oddly, I’m looking out of one right now as I’m sitting in a suburban AirB&B. Then again, such fenestration references might lead to ‘C’ becoming a modern equivalent, a Chicago window. I also figured ‘T’ would be for Trabeation or Trabeate and ‘A’ would be for Archuation or Arcuate. There are so many terms and so few letters in the alphabet. Good job, as always!

@stewart, A question about "how to design architecture": In graphic design we often will collect all our raw design elements and content onto the screen and begin assembling them into various design explorations based on background requirements, past designs, and raw creativity. Is there an equivalent to this in the architecture design process, specifically when the architect sits down to design the interior spaces and exterior surfaces? Perhaps the answer to this could be a good candidate for a video title: "How to do architecture" :P

Of, or related to, the conditions of design processes informed by operational / computational “parameters” - This as a wave of design can be attributed to the advent automating tools of computer aided design. Most often related to ‘organic’, curvatious building forms, which were not as easily accomplished with more traditional drafting and building techniques, “parametric” design can be often connoted to the works of Zaha Hadid, as well as the many designers she had inspired in her life’s work. It is known for its innovative use of material usage optimization, extravagant forms previously not producible by analog means, and it’s lasting visual character moving from periods of Hi-Tech to Contemporary architecture.

I understand "tectonic" a little differently: as a direct analogy to the geological meaning of tectonic plates in the earth's surface. Buildings, then, have a monolithic shape that is similar to a rock formation or tectonic plates, especially if they seem to grow out of the earth. An example would be the Frank Lloyd Wright midwestern houses with their horizontal forms that seem like outgrowths of the exposed limestone layers in eroded land. I took an architecture class once, and a (then) somewhat amusing term was "architectonics" that referred to, for example, the general shapes of large buildings that, because of their size or number, cause the individual to relate to them as he would terrain or mountains. It is shape, connected to or part of the earth.
