The ‘Arckit 100 sqm.’ is an advanced building kit that combines architecture and maquettes. As stated on the product description on the Neiman Marcus website, this toy kit "promotes the signature five C’s: creativity, collaboration, communication, critical and computational thinking."
The kit comes with 188 Arckit pieces (Architectural building blocks), 22 reusable Arckitexture decals (including white louvres, light timber, dark brick, and vegetation), and 35 Arckit cardboard pop-outs (including figurines, trees & furniture). Each element brings the piece to life and allows users to get creative with their decorating skills. The structure is unique as it has a multi-design that can be altered and stacked via online instructions. Consumers can also take their building skills into the digital world using the Arckit Digital components in 3D rendering platforms like SketchUp and Revit.
