ARCKIT Squared

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
— Eleanor Roosevelt

Introduction

‘ARCKIT Squared’ is a short-and-sweet series where we explore a variety of different ARCKIT builds that must fit on an 8 by 8 baseplate. That’s it! Don’t know what ARCKIT is? Well your in for a surprise!

Imagine a building system that makes designing and constructing architectural models simple, relatively cheap, and clean? What if the pieces held one’s hand were designed to reflect modern-day building techniques, conforming not only to international building regulations but also accessibility codes? What if common architectural elements like walls, floors, roofs, trusses, columns, and windows were all single units that could snap together? What if floor plans could be constructed in minutes, easily communicating ideas to a friend, professor, supervisor, or client? What if modeling was so fast and efficient, it could be a platform for rapid prototyping, quickly and efficiently "sketching" ideas in three dimensions? Most importantly, what if one could just concentrate on the design rather than being distracted by the building process? Simply put, ARCKIT embodies all the above and more.
