On a white background an angled image of an assembled unfinished wood building block set. It is put together to form one building but with various sized hexagonal shaped blocks forming two asymmetric towers. Six elevated platforms that look like mini terraces are staggered throughout the structure and have green surfaces with trees.
On a white background a close up image of an assembled unfinished wood building block set made up of hexagons, squares and rectangles. A person’s arm reaches across the top of the set, holding blocks in it’s hand and getting ready to place it on top of the structure. Small green terraces with trees are staggered throughout the building at varying heights.
A photograph showing the front of a cardboard box with a light blue cover that holds the building blocks. On the top left of the box in black block style font it reads "Blockitecture Garden City." In the bottom right corner there is black text reading "Building the world you wish to see." Above this text is an illustration of the building block set.
Against a white background, a photograph showing all the individual wooden pieces that make up the building set. They are spread out evenly and arranged by category.

Build the world you want to see with Blockitecture®, a set of architectural building blocks by designer James Paulius. Cantilever and nest hexagonal blocks to create towers, cities and dwellings. Awarded first place in the RIT Metaproject 03 design competition.

"When I started thinking about the newest expansion of Blockitecture®, Blockitecture® Garden City, I wanted people to create and explore their own world through play. I especially wanted this world to be optimistic, hopeful, and uplifting. It's always refreshing for me to see buildings with greenery, especially in the mostly concrete New York City where I'm living. Integrating this element into Blockitecture® was the most fun and challenging element of this design process. My first iterations were too angular and literal. After looking at architecture in NYC, I noticed the contrast between the contours of the trees with the geometry of the buildings. Taking this cue, I designed the trees to have an organic silhouetted effect."
