LEGO Architecture: A Global Collection of Iconic Structures
LEGO's Architecture line offers a captivating journey around the world, recreating famous landmarks from ancient wonders to modern cityscapes. But is translating real-world structures into LEGO more challenging than designing original creations? Original builds benefit from a clean slate—no preconceived notions of what "should be," only what "is."
However, LEGO Architecture introduces unique considerations. Does a designer aim for precise replication, or capture the essence and mental image evoked by the landmark's name?
