In this phase, we allow to design a toy that communicated logic from the building that we have Analysis. A game should promote the method and teaching and practice of a specific pedagogy through rule-formation. In my case, I have analysis the Nordic house designed by Alvar Aalto. It is the cultural institute to connect the relationship between Iceland and the Nordic country. So, I came up with the word joining and take the building arrangement which is 'Interlocking' to be an action for my toy.

Starting designed by using the square shape which is the base construction of the building. Each unit will divide with 4 grid and become in a various shape. This create the horizontal connection. Adding interlocking part to each pieces and this create the connection in vertical axis.
