Architecture is defined by the “block element” in Minecraft, and everything is scaled to the “block unit”, a three-dimensional pixel. Blocks are placed while being experienced live time, full scale, and first person perspective via screens or VR.

Low resolution implies low time cost. With the same logic behind massing models, lower resolution enables speedy iteration and model construction.
