Blockitecture - New York City Greenway

Blockitecture - New York City Greenway

Build the world you want to see with Blockitecture®, a set of architectural building blocks. Cantilever and nest hexagonal blocks to create towers, cities, and dwellings.

Areaware's Greenway set includes 15 wooden pieces inspired by the architecture and public spaces of New York City.

Art meets science in these sets of nesting hand-painted blocks. James Paulius’ intent was to create a timeless toy - for American design brand Areaware - that challenges the user’s creativity and understanding of physical laws.

Blockitecture is a celebration of different architectural styles...
