LEGO Architecture: A Brick-by-Brick Journey Around the World
LEGO's Architecture line offers a captivating global tour, showcasing iconic structures from ancient wonders to modern marvels. But is replicating real-world architecture more challenging than designing entirely original creations? Original designs benefit from a blank slate—no preconceived notions of what "should be," only what "is."
However, LEGO Architecture introduces unique complexities. Does a LEGO designer aim for precise replicas, or capture the essence, the mental image evoked by a structure's name?
