Blocs
Urban and architectural projects exploring block-scale design, adaptive reuse, and community-focused spatial interventions.
Blocs represent a fundamental unit of urban planning and architectural design. This topic covers projects that engage with block-level interventions, from adaptive reuse of existing structures to new community-oriented developments that reshape how people inhabit and experience urban spaces.
The community explores diverse approaches to bloc-based design including adaptive reuse of city facades, biophilic and wellness-focused architecture, human-centered housing for specific communities, and phygital experiences that bridge physical and digital environments within defined urban areas.
