The game “Builder” visualized digital manipulatable architecture in the virtual world. It is introduced without the “undo” key, that the unsatisfied result would be collapsed to start over by clicking the “delete” key. This game visualized a process of renewal (by applying materials and cubes), recursion (by introducing openings, floors and stairs) and terminal collapse in “delete”, represented an endless loop of producing unrepeatable ontogenetic objects.

Technologies today allow people to easily digital customize objects or living spaces by manipulating architectural elements and objects. Through operations like assembling, disassembling and re-assembling in individualized approach, architecture forms and spaces can be customized and shaped in endless real-time searching through digital modeling tools.
