LEGO Architecture: A Global Collection of Iconic Structures
LEGO's Architecture line offers a captivating journey around the world, showcasing iconic structures from ancient wonders to modern marvels. But is recreating real-world architecture more challenging than designing entirely original creations? Original designs benefit from a clean slate—no pre-conceived notions of what "should be," only what "is."
However, LEGO Architecture presents unique creative hurdles. Does a LEGO designer aim for a precise replica, or capture the essence, the mental image evoked by the structure's name?
