50 Urban Blocks is the first in a collection of designing cards (available in English and Spanish) aimed to simplify architectural design, by a+t architecture publishers. This first set of cards contains 50 examples of how to design a block, how to organize space and ultimately how to build the city. Thanks to a+t, Archinect is giving away two sets of the “50 Urban Blocks” cards to our readers!

Each of the 55 13 x 8 cm double-sided cards proposes a possible urban form including measurements and data on density in the city. Their reduced size and individual format mean that it is possible to lay out the 50 urban forms proposed in the pack all at once in front of you — a difficult task in the case of a book or a magazine. This means that architects can compare, order and disorder the cards so as to select the ones which best adapt to their scenario and combine the different forms to design their project. 50 Urban Blocks is especially useful for students and young architects looking for inspiration in their first approach to an architectural project.
