Block Builder lets non architects lay out designs modularly.
Modules proportioned to individual apartment units embed mechanical and structural constraints to prevent users from designing structural configurations that would be impossible at 1:1.
Each scaled block is held to the adjacent one with a connecting clip - and physically constrained by a ball bering.
