BLOCK EFFECT

A SIMPLE, ACCESSIBLE, AND ADAPTABLE SYSTEM TO ORGANIZATIONS IN NEED OF INTERVENTION

SPRING 2021

PARTNER -- SANDEEP KUMAR

Our nation is plagued with injustice in social settings, and have found that organizations do not have accessible options toward affordable and effective space of congregation.

Our efforts are aimed at the demographic who are located in areas that don’t have access to public spaces, lack the funds to afford to rent space, or the existing space just doesn’t fit their unique needs.

As two architecture students, we are compelled to use our skill set to address the issue of social inequality. We have designed a product that can serve as a medium of defining space within public spaces to make events function.

Block Effect is a kit consisting of simple construction elements in order to build an array of different infrastructural types; Block Effect will have a GoFundMe page where donors can support our company. From there, clients in need can tell us their story and product needs through an email.
