LEGO Architecture: A Brick-by-Brick Journey Through Iconic Structures
LEGO's Architecture line offers a captivating global journey, showcasing structures ranging 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 preconceived notions of what "should be," only what "is."
However, LEGO Architecture presents unique complexities. Does a LEGO designer aim for an exact replica, or capture the essence, the mental image evoked by the structure's name?
