In this movie, Royal College of Art graduate Johnny Lui explains his concept for a digital planning system, which architects would play like a video game to get projects built in the real world.

Called Cilvia, Lui's speculative planning tool ? which he developed for the masters programme in architecture at the Royal College of Art ? is a digital model of the City of London, into which architects could insert proposals for new buildings.

Any proposal that violated planning constraints would be rejected by the system, while compliant proposals would become viewable to architects working on other sites in the area.

"Cilvia is a virtual reconstruction of the City in which architects work, propose and plan buildings together," Lui explains in the movie, which was filmed at the ShowRCA 2016 graduate show in London.
"It has a set of in-built rules that are based on existing planning and regulations. Things like demolishing listed buildings or blocking the view of St Paul's Cathedral would be automatically picked up by Cilvia and rejected."
