Abstract: The Invention is a collection of snap, knob and other interfaces on basic shapes comprised of cubes, boxes and cups (cylinders) that fit together in versatile ways to empower builders with compact pieces. The basic shapes can fit into themselves a variety of different ways to make their constructions stronger, to make them store in a more compact and strong manner, or to occupy more space or hold food or liquids. The snaps, knobs and hooks, and the basic shapes of the pieces themselves, are all designed to maximize versatile utility that can be made with flexible pieces (like rubber or flexible plastic), rigid materials (like ceramics, cast iron or glass), and combinations of flexible and rigid materials. The combinations can also be made at different strengths because the hardness of the interfaces can be adjusted to have a secure fit, a loose fit, or a moderately strong fit.
