Description

Bloc is a digital platform dedicated to fostering vibrant communities. Designed to facilitate collaboration, it empowers community members to engage in alternative housing opportunities by harnessing the potential of data, digital twinning and virtual networking, to promote self-driven community-led design and decision-making.

Jury Report

The jury was impressed at the approach to process in this submission, much of which focuses on a project's initiation and design process and the sticky questions of how exactly to spark people to get together and do something about housing. The scheme echoes others in proposals for code change, including point access block and not including outdoor circulation in FSR; uniquely, it puts forward a code change to eliminate restrictions on household formation in zoning bylaws. It also proposes a crowd-funding mechanism to complement a data-driven and community-led approach that stood out to the jury.
