This is an excellent reference for anyone that uses LEGO bricks to build buildings. We are currently working on a MOC (my own creation) of our middle school with the STEM club and have donated a copy of this book to them for this build. We feel it will help them meet any architectural challenge they may meet while building.
There are a ton (okay 1001) of great ideas in this book which move your builds into master builder territory for sure. You are sure to be inspired to go out there and build something awesome!
I feel the STEM club is going to get a lot of use out of this book, not only with this project, but for many years to come.
Book Description from the publisher
Take your creations to the next level with The LEGO Architecture Idea Book! These clever building tips will give you endless inspiration for making your own amazing mansions, castles, houses, spooky shacks, and more.
Every chapter includes ideas for creating architectural elements like columns, doors, windows, and walls. But rather than providing step-by-step instructions, the book includes helpful photography from every angle that shows you how to achieve the look, adapt it to your build, and make it your own.
Learn how to:
- Build amazing walls that break the mold, with brick-and-mortar effects, weathered walls, and loose bricks
- Recreate structural effects like timber framing, soaring towers and turrets, shingled roofs, clapboard siding, and more
- Elevate your models with “stained glass”, intricate color patterns, and tumble-down wear-and-tear
- Use pieces like croissants, snakes, and goblets to make unique architectural ornamentation
Bursting with clever ideas, The LEGO Architecture Idea Book will show you how to turn your buildings into impressive, realistic structures.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I purchased this book with my own funds (not a free review copy, not that it would have swayed my opinion either way).
