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 replicating 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 introduces unique complexities. Does the designer aim for precise replicas, or capture the essence and mental image evoked by the structure's name?
