the insane architectural detail of grand theft auto v

Welcome to Critical Demo, the video game/architecture crossover you have all been waiting for. This is a series where I critique and explore video game architecture through the lens of a real life architect. In this episode I explore the De Santa residence in GTA V, a Spanish Colonial-style villa Rockstar built with more architectural intent than most games could ever imagine. Tile layouts, ceiling details, room composition, even the drainpipes. 00:00 - Intro 00:12 - Exterior 00:40 - Pavement 01:04 - Garden Fence 02:15 - Perimeter Wall 03:14 - Front Door 03:51 - Tile Setting Out 06:01 - Entrance Hall 06:57 - Kitchen 08:30 - Dining Room 09:40 - Living Room 10:29 - Staircase 10:56 - Bedroom 1 11:48 - Bathroom 12:05 - Bedroom 2 12:18 - Master Bedroom 12:35 - Wardrobe 14:21 - Swimming Pool 16:06 - Tennis Court — Critical Demo is one of three architecture shows on this channel: → Architecture of Everything — weekly crit-wall breakdowns → Bland Designs — real buildings, reviewed with unearned reverence → Critical Demo — architecture inside games, weekly Patreon:   / cathalcrumley   #GTAV #Architecture #VideoGameArchitecture
