LEGO Architecture: A Global Collection of Iconic Structures
LEGO's Architecture line offers a captivating journey around the world, recreating famous landmarks from ancient wonders to modern cityscapes. But is replicating real-world structures more challenging than designing original creations? Original designs have the advantage of a blank slate; no preconceived notions of what "should be" exist.
However, LEGO Architecture presents unique creative hurdles. Does a LEGO designer aim for a precise replica, or capture the essence and evoke the mental image associated with the landmark's name?
