The Architect: Paris

The Architect: Paris is a construction game in which you redesign parts of Paris and create buildings of your own. You can reshape districts into medieval or futuristic cities, build business districts with surrounding parks, create large plazas, or combine historical and modern architecture. The brick-to-building system lets you draw buildings with detailed control, then destroy, redraw and rebuild as often as you like.

Explore the city

Paris’s streets, buildings and monuments form a detailed city environment for your projects. In City View, you can change the time of day and weather to see how they affect your designs. You can also choose lighting and weather conditions to present your finished city, and share your creations with other players through videos and pictures.

Plan your projects

The Strategic map provides information about each district’s Main Projects and Landmarks. Use it to choose where to begin your architectural work or which district to clear for a large park.

Design buildings

On the Drawing Board, choose a Design and apply it to a plot. Customize the building’s height, facade details, roof shape, materials and lighting, then confirm your choices to see the result in City View.

Reshape districts

The Plot Editor lets you alter the plots that make up each district. You can erase or merge existing plots within a block, or redesign them entirely.
