IWORLD AUSTRALIA INKS EXCLUSIVE ANZ DISTRIBUTION FOR ARCKIT

ARCKIT is a freeform model building tool that allows architects to physically explore designs and bring their projects to life. The interconnecting components use no glue and are completely modular, making it possible to create a diverse range of scaled structures that can be used as working models to communicate ideas to clients and to showcase finished projects. 

DESIGNED BY ARCHITECTS. BUILT FOR EVERYONE.

ARCKIT is a multi-award winning architectural model system suitable for any architect, student or hobbyist looking to bring their designs to life. The components interconnect without using glue, so you can design, build, and modify structures faster than ever before.

Completed models can be finished with realistic surface textures and material patterns by accessing a free digital ARCKITEXTURE Library on the ARCKIT website. This allows detailed finishes to be added to an ARCKIT model such as wood flooring, terracotta tiles, stone walls and shingle aluminium. These textures can be downloaded and printed to the supplied adhesive Arckitexture sheets ready to be measured, cut and applied to the finished structure. 

ARCKIT can also be used to bring 3D computer drawings to life using ARCKIT DIGITAL. This allows architects to create virtual designs using SketchUp versions of ARCKIT components in Trimble’s 3D Warehouse, and then calculate component quantities necessary to build a physical ARCKIT model.

EXPRESS CREATIVITY AND EXPLORE DESIGN IDEAS

ARCKIT has exciting potential in the world of education, allowing architecture students to quickly explore unlimited designs, and non-architecture students as young as 12 to learn valuable skills and express their creativity in a fun way. The modular components make it possible to create a diverse range of scaled physical structures that can be endlessly modified and exhibited as finished projects.

And when you’re finished, you can take it apart and start over again!

THE INVENTOR

As an architect, Damien Murtagh realised the benefits of presenting a physical model to clients, far outweighed any impact a drawing could ever have. So in 2009 he began to investigate ways of radically improving current methods while taking inspiration from a contemporary building system he was simultaneously developing. 5 years and numerous prototypes later, he had invented the world’s first architect’s reusable scaled model building design kit.

“Architects have always used models as a means to explore and communicate ideas. Today however, cutting and gluing materials is no longer feasible due to time and cost constraints involved. Arckit is a groundbreaking freeform modelling system that opens up a whole new way for architects & everyone to physically visualise their designs.” States Damien Murtagh, Architect, Founder & CEO of ARCKIT.

We're excited about the Arckit range and what it has to offer. It's a unique, fun and easy modelling system designed for anyone to enjoy. Arckit is not just for the budding architect but also an important part for STEM Education in schools and universities. Over the next couple of months we will be growing and expanding this area into mass retail and education across ANZ" States Chad De Clase Director of iWorld Australia.

Pricing starts from $69.95 RRP and stock will be available mid to late November 2016
