Dark Souls IS Architecture. In this video, I break down the level design of Dark Souls. From Firelink Shrine to Ash Lake, from Walt Disney to Tadao Ando's Church of the Light, I look at the level design of dark souls through the eyes of an Architect.
This is part of an ongoing series applying architectural thinking to culture, games, film, art and sport.
