Here goes the first part of incoming typical (or not so typical) Soviet tower block building series - from the mighty Stalinist style to COPE panel "hives", starting with the usual Khrushchyovkas and ending with the individual projects like this one I'll show you today.
A vivid representation of the Soviet modernist architecture — four houses supported by pilotis, located on Novosmolenskaya Naberezhnaya in Saint-Petersburg, were erected from 1986 to 1993 by "LenNIIproekt" under Vitaly Sokhin's guidance. Twenty two floors of monolithic reinforced concrete (nineteen of them made for residential purposes) are held by sixteen pilotis and central column.
Worth mentioning that there's one more fascinating building on the other side of Smolenka river, but it's another story.

Two townhouses inspired by houses in Washington, D.C.. Each house is build as a separate 16x32 modular house. Fully furnished. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
One of my three contributions to the Archbrick/BriXtar Skyscraper Challenge. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
A modern house for a family with kids. Fully furnished. Architecture is inspired by functionalism and clean lines. About 6800 bricks. Computer rendering but buildable if you have the bricks.
This model was commissioned by Living Sky Casino in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was unveiled at their 10-year anniversary celebration on December 28, 2018.
Model was built by MEEP Creative Agency (LEGO builder: kellyrev) in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada.
The seven stone-cut murals on the side of the real building were redrawn and printed on vinyl stickers.
Uppsala City Hall was first built 1957. However, it was only partially built according to the original drawings. This year the shape of the building was completed by Henning Larsen Architects. LEGO model has about 9300 bricks and is about 50x50 cm. If you want, you can visit Uppsala City Hall to see this model built ”non-digital” by Daniel Eggens.
I'm so proud to present you one of my personal MOC, designed by me and nobody else! :)
This is the faithful model of the Cathedral of Trani, my hometown in Puglia (Italy).
The scale is very similar to the one of Lego Architecture style, as usual.
I designed it in Studio before, and in the end I also managed to build it, with the important help (and tolerance!) of my wife Malwina! :*
This modular building is inspired by the modern Scandinavian architecture of the Rosendal neighborhood in Uppsala, Sweden. The wooden house consists of two parts, a cafe and apartments. About 3500 bricks. Computer rendering but only existing bricks were used.

History:
The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct that crosses the Gardon River near the town of Vers-Pont-du-Gard in southern France. The Pont du Gard, built as three tiers of archways to bring water to the city of Nîmes, is the highest of all elevated Roman aqueducts, and one of the best preserved. It was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 because of its historical importance.
The bridge has three tiers of arches, stands 48.8 m (160 ft) high, and descends a mere 2.5 centimetres (1 in) – a gradient of only 1 in 18,241 – while the whole aqueduct descends in height by only 12.6 m (41 ft) over its entire length, which is indicative of the great precision that Roman engineers were able to achieve using simple technology. The Nîmes aqueduct was built to channel water from the springs of the Fontaine d'Eure near Uzès to the castellum divisorum (repartition basin) in Nimes
Brick Model Info:
The model has 2097 pieces and measures 65.92 x 16.16 x 20.48 (x,y,z) centimeters, (25.95 x 6.36 x 8,06 inches). The idea is try to respect the real proportion of the aqueduct.
Motivation:
As a fan of the LEGO Architecture series, I was surprised there were no official sets of this monument one of the most important sturcture of the ancient Roman Empire a collossal engineer structure.
I have visit this monument when I was child and I was entranced by his immensity.

Brickish LUG selected me to represent them in a build challenge using 100 LEGO Star Wars Magazine foil bags provided by Fairy Bricks Charity.
With no building plan in mind, this MOC became something resembling the Sky Pirates storyline from LEGO NinjaGo.
My third and last entry to BriXtar and Archbrick Skyscraper Challenge.
A classic skyscraper in tan and LBG. Grille tiles and ladders are used to create the striped walls. The sprue from ninjago stars play the role as cars.
⛵ This vast construction of timber, sails and ropes once covered the COLOSSEUM!
☀️ The sails were fully retractable, and would have been staggered throughout the day to shelter the Roman citizens from the harsh direct sunlight.
⚓ The extensive riggings were maintained and operated by sailors of the Roman Navy!

“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!

Lego version of a classic Optical Illusion. I only had a window in the ceiling as light source, so shadows are not optimal.
Väven is a cultural center in Umeå, Sweden located next to Ume River. Väven was built in 2011-2014 and next to Väven is the hotel Stora Hotellet. Architects are Norwegian Snøhetta and White arkitekter. Instructions in BriXtar app, search for aukbricks. Computer rendering.
The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is a bridge that spans over the Trinity River just west of Downtown Dallas. The bridge is designed by world renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, The cable-stayed bridge supports its 1870 ft length and 1197 ft main span with a steel arch whose peak's height is 400 ft. An array of twisting cables connect the underside of the arch's curved pylon to the bridge's platform. Fifty eight white steel cables descend from the arch and secure themselves along the centerline of the platform.
Hidden Home Park is an underground modern, sustainable home hidden in a green park. Trees, bushes and flowers. A roof and an atrium garden. Kitchen garden with herbs.

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.
