The models are sure to motivate future architects—or future LEGO artists—to get building." —Architectural Digest 'Sucked Me In' "The LEGO Architect has sucked me in for hours, and I can’t wait to build all of the plans." —GeekDad 'One of the Most Useful Books' "This is likely one of the most useful books that I will ever own.

Review: Solid gift for the more mature Lego fan! - Really interesting high quality book, would make a great gift. The book mixes a combination of background information of different architecture styles, images of master builds and instructions on how to build 10 buildings. There is also a useful builders guide at the back of the book providing some tips on making your own creations. The only issue is economically getting hold of the required blocks to build the models. Although the book itself only costs £15, you will likely end up shelling out a lot more to get the pieces. Even if you have quite an reasonable Lego collection you would be unlikely to have all the pieces required to make even one of these models. A quick google brings up a couple of really useful websites providing information on the bricks required and guides to getting hold of them. The Lego Architecture Studio set is a good place to start, however it has been discontinued and is not cheap to get hold of. Review: Build it yourself, brick by brick - The book came out in 2015 which is you can pick up a copy really cheaply. The essence of the title is ten buildings with step-by-step visual instructions, just like the real LEGO instructions. There are a couple of other instructions to show a load-bearing structure and a curtain-wall building that could be part of your own building. Of the ten models, I loved the Art Deco movie theater. For best results, I think you should have the LEGO Architecture Studio box though I don't think the company sells this anymore. All the how-to-make models are shown as mono photos and the Architectural box only has white pieces (but with clear acrylic window pieces). The book is also a sort of primer about architecture but very superficial I thought the colour photos of the building were rather well chosen and they are all captioned. Many of the buildings are also LEGO models made by professionals and using thousands of pieces. I think it's well worth getting if you can find a cheap, good copy, say, less than eight pounds. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 150,961 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 25 in Miniature Model Making 101 in Models & Model-Making 303 in Making Toys & Dolls | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,244 Reviews | ## Images ![The LEGO Architect - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fdOcUzRYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid gift for the more mature Lego fan! *by C***S on 7 December 2018* Really interesting high quality book, would make a great gift.
