Knock-A-Block

Knock-A-Block Croquet, created in partnership with New York City’s Department of Transportation and DUB Studios, is a portable game that is a cross between croquet and mini golf. It was designed to foster public engagement without the financial strain. Additionally, it suggests a new typology of public art, one that provokes activation of people and varying different sites in the city of New York.

Roles and work completed:

Design development

Connection design

CNC

Hand fabrication.

Connections were designed as a game within itself, similar to Lego’s. The blocks are magnetized for ease of assembly and for longevity. Small children or adults can move and connect/disconnect the blocks for rearrangement.

One challenge was to create a block that can be rotated and reconnected to freely arrange the blocks, still be easy to move, and be invisible to the eye once connected.
