The LEGO® Architecture series was created to celebrate the past, present, and future of architecture through building with LEGO bricks. Its origins date back to a collaboration with Adam Reed Tucker, an architect from Chicago, who in 2006 began creating models of famous buildings from LEGO bricks. His work quickly drew the attention of the LEGO Group, resulting in the launch of the official series in 2008. The first sets depicted famous American skyscrapers such as the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) and the John Hancock Center, and over time the collection expanded to include other continents and architectural styles.
Education and inspiration – architecture at your fingertips
LEGO® Architecture is not only about fun, but also about learning. By building the models, you get to know the history, style, and context behind the world’s most important buildings. Many sets include booklets with fun facts, photos, and information about the architects and the design process. Thanks to this, the
LEGO® Architecture series works perfectly as an educational tool, inspiring deeper exploration of architecture and design.
Who is LEGO® Architecture for?
LEGO® Architecture is designed for adults and teens who are fascinated by architecture, travel, and art. It’s a great choice both for collectors and for those looking for an original decoration for the home or office.
LEGO® Architecture models are elegant, minimalist, and look excellent on a shelf or desk. Thanks to the varied difficulty levels, everyone will find something for themselves – from simpler city skylines to advanced reconstructions of landmarks.
How are LEGO® Architecture sets created?
Designing models in the
LEGO® Architecture series is a process that requires precision and passion. The design team analyzes the original buildings, recreating their proportions, colors, and details at a microscale. They often consult architects and historians to ensure maximum historical and architectural accuracy. As a result, each
LEGO® Architecture set is not only striking but also educational, and the building experience becomes a true journey through the world of architecture.
Use and decoration – how to make the most of LEGO® Architecture models?
Finished
LEGO® Architecture models are excellent as interior decoration – both at home and in the office. Their elegant design and compact size allow them to be displayed on shelves, desks, or in display cases – just like
LEGO Art sets. Many people also use them as inspiration for their own architectural projects or as an educational tool during activities with children and teens.
