"Block" Project

The project is to "fix" design problems (as you see it) at the block. Try to keep it in the realm of possibility. Explore your ideas through small thumbnails. Although The Block is a shopping center, it's also an entertainment complex.
The "fix" can be as simple as creating more interesting/exciting sightlines to what "shoppingtainment" means in 2017.
A lot has happened with technology/culture since it opened. Immersive spaces can be explored, interactive experiences etc.
Some samples, and I'll post more as I find them:
