Subseries C: Metaproject 03 - Blockitecture, 2012-2018
Scope and Content Note
This subseries contains materials from James M. Paulius, creator of the first-place winning Blockitecture for Metaproject 03. Blockitecture uses simple geometry and clean aesthetics for a universal toy primarily fabricated from wood. Hexagonal blocks nest in various formations, allowing them to create unique architectural designs. Box 6 also contains final products from Areaware, including eight different Blockitecture playsets [undated, but likely between 2013-2018].
