Digital twins are nothing new in architecture. The creation of a virtual, entirely digital, version of a proposed or existing building in order for different construction teams to work live on the same design, or for post-occupancy management and functioning of a completed project is now fairly common within the industry. Building Information Modelling software – or BIM, for short – such as Autodesk Ecosystem, Revit, Microsoft Azure, NVIDIA Omniverse, or IBM Maximo are regularly used in construction. A computer programme less commonly found in relation to important architecture is Minecraft…
At the Soane Museum in London, however, the children’s construction software has been used to create an experiential model of the famed museum, allowing users to not only explore a blocky version John Soane’s former house, but also create designs using the architects’ toolkit. Titled Soane’s Portals to the Past, the digital 3D model has been created by Blockbuilders, a UK-based third-party developer, for Minecraft Education, and is now available alongside lesson plans for free.

Today is our 10th anniversary!
Never in our wildest dreams did I think we would be where we are today. The last 10 years have flown by!
There are way too many people to thank to fit into a lil’ instagram post, but we hope you know who you are and how grateful we are for you. We would never have managed without the support of our wonderful family and friends (including pets), as well as all the kind people who helped us across the years.
To the kids we have worked with over the last decade, we have loved getting to share our games with you. We have also worked with some great clients who have helped elevate our games. Especially thankful for our partnership with Minecraft Education, they have enabled our games to reach audiences we never imagined.
To our employees, thank you for all your work. It has been amazing working with such bright young people and watching them flourish. They have improved our games so much more than we thought possible.
The biggest of thank you’s goes to @brightonyouthcentre . The first picture of us as ‘BlockBuilders’ above was taken there almost 10 years ago to the day. We have had the joy of working with BYC since then, and it also became our office and home for the last 5 years. It is the best community to be a part of, and your support has meant more than you will ever know.
Can’t wait to see what the next 10 years bring! 🖤💻🎉
