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 blank slate; there are no preconceived notions of what "should be," only what "is."
However, LEGO Architecture presents unique creative challenges. Does a LEGO designer aim for precise replicas, or strive to capture the essence and mental image evoked by the structure's name?
