I would like to start building structures that can be taken apart and reused, like the Plasticville ones, but made out of balsa wood. Does anyone have any suggestions on the construction of these?

The only thing I can think of that would work well is a log cabin with interlocking logs at the corners.
Otherwise you will need some way to fit posts into sockets like side post into end sockets to hold it together, and the wear factor will be bad.
Or perhaps sliding interlocking grooves in an interior pair at opposing corners.
Clear silicone sealer?
Suggest using a more robust wood than balsa, such as basswood, if the building is to be repeatedly taken apart and reassembled. Post and socket wear could be minimized with the use of brass tubing and music wire, kind of like a hinge with a removable hinge pin.
