Indeed both can be used and they are quite clearly defined.
It mainly depends on how much details Séverin and the students want to put
in the mapping. I think blocks because they are easier to explain,
recognise and map. If one wants to map plots/lots, fine! Of course you can
also add buildings and walls/fences.
