James Paulius researched extensively to develop the Blockitecture Usonian Frank Lloyd Wright blocks, aiming to capture the essence of Wright's Usonian homes, which are characterized by their flat structures, broad canopies, and landscape integration.
The honeycomb grid system utilized in the blocks is based on the hexagonal shape of Wright's architecture, communicating his vision that obtuse angles better facilitate human interaction than right angles.
While Paulius referenced several Wright homes from the 1930s to '50s, he emphasized that the design of the Blockitecture set isn't a direct replication of any single building, focusing on the broader concept of Wright's architectural ethos.
The incorporation of triangular canopies in the design of the blocks helps convey the unique aesthetic of Wright’s architecture, allowing users to explore and create their own adaptations of Usonian structures.
