Take any precedent in Baroque gardens – whether it be the Gardens of Versailles, the parterres of the Belvedere Palace in Vienna, or those of the Peterhof Palace in Saint Petersburg – each are subsequent iterations of the movement which began with the Vatican Gardens. In fact, the gardens account for more than half the total land area of Vatican City and occupy much of the hillside terrain, rising to roughly 60 m (197 ft) above sea level or about equal in height with the base of the dome of St. Peter’s. Naturally, such a dramatic landscape has been coupled with sensational origin stories, including that Constantine I’s mother, Empress Saint Helena, christened the site with soil from Mount Calvary as well as a cited source of inspiration for the gardens being the breathtaking landscapes of Arcadia (Ancient Greece’s bread basket). According to records, however, the earliest orchards and vineyards at the site date back to the thirteenth-century Papacy of Nicholas III, who also began the centuries-long construction of the Vatican walls which mark much of the city’s boundaries today.
It was not until the sixteenth century that the design of these gardens was tended as rigorously as the built architecture itself. Under the commission of Pope Julius II, Donato Bramante pioneered Renaissance landscape design in his layout of the Cortili del Belvedere, the long rectangular enclosure of narrow corridors stretching north from the Basilica (pictured center-left to left edge). Today, the Cortili del Belvedere has been partitioned into three courtyards by two later additions, but is relatively well-preserved in terms of its spatial precedence and garden layout.

This build is a large castle/landscape display featuring The Knights of the Black Falcon and The Forest Guard.
First and foremost the aim of this build was to showcase what I love about those classic mid-80s Castle sets and specifically my two favourite factions. I have drawn inspiration from the original sets featuring each faction, specifically what I loved about them as a child and aimed to contrast that with what appeals to me as an adult builder.
The build features two fortresses side by side, Falkenholt Castle, the fortress of the Knights of the Black Falcon and an underground network of caves and tunnels that comprise the fortress of the Forest Guard.
Some of the elements that I am most happy with in this build are the level of detail and texture, the cross-section style cutaway on the edges of the build showing the internal structure of the castle as well as the geological layers of rock, clay and soil.
With this building I wanted to create a single-color house and instead of colors using a lot of structure on the facade. The building can be opened at the back and when fully opened, the two parts of the back expands the facade on the front and it becomes a 64 studs wide building. On the ground floor there is an architecture office and above that a large apartment. About 9700 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.
Lego build of Mak Residence by Lars Langberg Architects. The house can be divided into several parts and is fully furnished. About 6600 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks/colors were used.

“An old knight is enjoying his retirement and pursuing his hobbies after years of battles and quests.” Howdy flickr! I’ve built with Lego for as long as I can remember, but I’ve only recently gotten back into it, and this is the first castle MOC I’ve built in a long time. I would appreciate any comments or feedback, hope you enjoy!

Modern living at split levels. Three kinds of sections - striped, brown and olive green.
In Olive Sand House I combine the the desertlike surroundings and olive green/tan colour scheme of Whitebrick Sand House with the striped architecture of for example Green Rock House, Calmwater Cliff House and Vanilla House that has in some way become my trademark.
The largest temple in Ancient Rome, designed in characteristically Greek fashion and built under Emperor Hadrian, the third of the so-called "Five Good Emperors."

No other city in the world has more erect Ancient Egyptian obelisks than Rome. These relics of the distant past were often plundered from their homeland by various Roman emperors touring their lands and taken back to Rome where they stood in forums or at the center of a spina in a Roman circus. This particular obelisk is no exception as it is the same one that stood amid the Circus of Caligula nearly 2,000 years ago. It has remained upright ever since, first at its original position (despite the demolition of the circus’s ruins to make way for Old St. Peter’s Basilica) until it was moved to its current position in 1586 at the direction of Pope Sixtus V. It is the only obelisk in Rome that has not toppled since ancient times, and it is also unknown precisely how long ago it was carved as there are no telltale surface engravings, unlike other Egyptian obelisks throughout Rome. It is believed to have been originally erected at Heliopolis, Egypt by an unknown Pharoah, until Emperor Augustus had it moved to the Julian Forum in Alexandria. The obelisk was then moved to Rome under Caligula’s orders in 37 CE.
This solid red granite obelisk stands roughly twenty-five meters (84 feet) tall and weighs around 320 tons. It is supported upon bronze lions and the Chigi family arms at its base, and topped by a bronze cross and additional set of Chigi arms which were added by Bernini to commemorate his patron, Pope Alexander VII, born Fabio Chigi, whose dedication is also denoted on the architrave inscriptions of the colonnades’ entablatures. With its base and spire, the obelisk rises to an impressive total height of forty-one meters (135ft). In the model, the aforementioned bronze lions and arms are represented here with a pair of contorted minifig handcuff elements and a ski pole at the top standing in for the other arms and the cross. Additionally, the architrave inscriptions of Alexander VII’s dedications have been painstakingly printed on the sides of plates at the ends and middles of the two colonnades by my skilled friends over at The Original BrickEngraver/BrickPrinter.
Well I have waited a while to post these, but here are the HD expansive photos of my Church Dream MOC from Summer of 2022. I went with natural lighting for the photos this time around and saw an incredible turn out. Little editing was required on the tale end of shooting. As for the slides the first five show the MOC in larger detail while the later five examine aspects of the free-form landscape and architecture better. At some point in the next few months I will either do a techniques post or a story Q&A. Thank you to any and all who supported this project along the way. I am incredibly happy with the result. If you have any feedback, it is greatly appreciated and as always, enjoy.
