About PlayCity
ScreenTime is a proposal by Zhifei and Thaddeus, both Masters of Architecture students at the School of Architecture and Planning. Working under the moniker "PlayCity", they research and develop urban gamification as a means to solve issues of urban engagement and participation. Since the start of their collaboration at a IAP 2020 workshop with Professor Brent Ryan (DUSP), they have participated in several design competitions, and have had their work recently published in Domus China.
