Mixed Modular Toolkits

The Little Architect Toolset Reworks What It Means to Be an Architect

— June 1, 2014 — Art & Design
The Little Architect toolset came about as a part of a school project, but with the idea being so good and functional in so many ways it has grown way past its original intention. Carlos Ng understands that the present and future of design and everything else for that matter is adaptability and compatibility, the Little Architect toolset has both in spades.

The toolset is modular in that all the pieces can separate at different parts and be replaced by other parts. This ability makes it so that the pieces can come together to make something new, if the need should arise.

There's a whole list of tools and items that an architect or designer can use, but each project is different so having the option to mix it up is key.

3. Customizable Design - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offering tools and items that can be easily customized to meet the unique requirements of architect and design projects.
