Under construction: video game console buildings. These images are featured in the latest issue of French gaming / entertainment magazine Amusement in a photo series titled “If I Were President”, imagining architecture serving the whims of a gamer president.

How awesome would it have been if Nintendo of America used this concept for the design of its new headquarters building? Okay, maybe not that awesome, as there would be limited space, and whoever worked on the second floor would have to evacuate whenever someone opened the structure’s lid. Also, the company would need to completely rebuild sections every year to keep the office up to date with new hardware releases.

Credit for these convincing shots go to artistic director Mohamed Bareche, photographer Joseph Ford, retoucher François Brochenin, and 3D artist Antoine Mairot.
