The LEGO Architecture Idea Book: 1001 Ideas for Brickwork, Siding, Windows, Columns, Roofing, and Much, Much More Kindle Edition

I've had my hands on this book for only a few days but it's already at the top of my list of favorite books on LEGO (and I own or have read many of the books on LEGO design and building).I love this particular book because it is filled with page after page over wonderful ideas for any aspect of architecture. The book invites you to experiment with your LEGO collection to build ornate windows, sloping roofs, rounded walls, etc. This book is not a how-to guide. Different architectural elements are presented over several pages with different examples using different pieces. The text is kept at a minimum, giving short explanations when necessary and piece descriptions and part number (Great for online shopping for specific pieces).There are few instructions on how to build and when there are it is more if a diagram rather than a step-by-step guide. There are few examples of completed products. Most of the focus of the book is on different architecture elements in isolation. Its up to the reader to take these different ideas and construct an architectural masterpiece.Highly recommended for advanced LEGO builders. The book might be a disappointed for parents of younger children as the idea require a lot of very specific brick types (and often in vast quantities). Overall, inspirational and well-done. Highly recommended!

This book is a must have for anyone who builds Lego buildings. It takes you way beyond the standard Lego doors and windows and into the realm of sophisticated construction that makes your build really stand out. The book is full of concepts that add realism and actual architectural details . Each concept is presented in an instructional format that is easy to follow and duplicate.You will not be disappointed if you get this book. It has become a constant referral source for me.Thank you Alice!

As a curator for a small children's library with 1000s of the neatest picture books and coffee table books from around the world, I've seen a lot of Lego books--many of which are fun and impressive. This one's a bit different than any others I've seen, and is such a great idea! I love it.Often Lego books show complete creations (buildings, bots, animals, etc.), which are fun to look at but not applicable or reproducible for most builders and children. This book is different. It focuses on parts and portions of buildings which can be incorporated into anyone's designs. It not only inspires builders to think outside the box, but gives an excellent and creative foundation for them to launch from.Thank you Alice for sharing your wonderful ideas and talent with the world! This is not only an excellent idea for a book, but an exceptional execution of that idea.I was an avid lego builder as a child, and now I'm an internationally published eco-architect designing affordable eco-friendly homes around the world. I think it's so neat that children can be inspired to think creatively, build their own inventions, dream big, work with their hands, etc.

It isn’t a book on plans for making buildings but how to make individual architectural elements with legos

I've grown up with LEGO since the mid-70's and I've seen plenty of ideas on how to build this and that, but this book puts so many building ideas into your head that you can't wait to get something started. Plenty of details on how to make roofs, walls, stained glass windows, special doors, and many other great ideas are shown throughout the book. Some pieces you may not have thought of using much at all might pop up in a totally different view to you. It will definitely make your next trip to a LEGO store brick wall more intriguing.

Nice to get if you have a big lego collection.

I bought this book mostly for our grandchildren to use in creating amazing buildings/villages when they come over and play with the 1000’s of Legos we have for their enjoyment. This book is laid out SO WELL, and it is so organized, that they even include the official Lego part numbers that they use to build different aspects and styles of architecture. Absolutely EXCELLENT!! I believe I will have to get a second book and send it to my grandchildren way out in CA—as they can’t come to our house as frequently as the ones that live nearby.

Love this book use it all the time for building Mocs, great techniques and inspiration!!! I have learned so much and so much more to learn!

Die Inhalte sind gut beschrieben und mit interessanten Beispielen versehen. Das Buch passt perfekt auf dem Regal neben den zusammengebauten Lego-Sets meines Sohnes :)

En bok att komma tillbaka till ofta för inspiration.

Excelente livro para quem gosta de mocar!

Lo compré como regalo para mi pareja, que es un fan de Lego acérrimo y le gusta hacer construcciones. Le encantó, todo un acierto.
