This is my first Lego Architecture set: Set 21002, depicting New York City's Empire State Building, rated Age 10+, consisting of 77 pieces. This is the simplest Lego set for me to date, and it took me just over 15 minutes to build.
The tapering of higher floors into smaller footprint, as happens at the real Empire State Building, is made possible with strategic uses of 2x1 tiles with one grommet; one such tile is seen in this shot.
For my first Lego Architecture sets, I decided on three New York City landmarks. With yet another trip to New York City about to start in a week, I wanted to get into a New York state of mind, just like the Billy Joel song.
📜 Subura Minor picks up where we left off in the fairly dense neighborhood of the ancient city, with a comparatively smaller slice of land area. While smaller geographically, this locale was considerably outsized in its role as a growing administrative center during the later years of the Roman Empire. As the imperial sphere of influence shifted east toward Constantinople, the office of the Urban Prefect grew beyond its managerial purview over the city and its territories, to that of de facto governor during the emperors' increasingly prolonged absences. As a result, the new administrative state expanded to encompass most surrounding buildings across an area of roughly 46,000 square meters; a far larger chunk of the nondescript domūs and insulae of Subura than are represented in this section alone.

This is my personal version of a MOC of Pyramids of Gyza in Egypt in Lego Architecture style.
I know... It is not so difficult to build a pyramid in LEGO :)
So I tried to imagine its context in the desert, with a little oasis and other little pyramids really existing in Gyza.
In truth, the oasis is my wife's contribution! :)
For the addiction of the Sphinx, I have to thank Kristi, a MOCcer here on Flickr, who enlightened me about how to build it in an amazing way!
I'm back with my newest moc, the Red London Telephone Box.
The model contains 1856 pieces and features lots of interesting details. The door can be opened to reveal an authentic detailed interior, complete with an old fashioned telephone.
As well as the phone box I've also included a British pillar box and a street lamp complete with hanging flower baskets.
I think the iconic London Telephone Box would be a great subject for a LEGO IDEAS set so I've uploaded it to the LEGO IDEAS website. If you like the model I'd be really grateful if you could head over and give the model your support. 10,000 votes and it could become a real set.
Thanks very much.
This build was for a client (Architecture). While the project remains undisclosed and is temporarily shelved due to COVID-19, I want to share the images before boxing up the model for a while. Hopefully this project will get revealed to the public and built at some point.

Design Insights XLVI
Throughout the process of reconstructing Rome of the fourth century, it has often been the case that after months of research, I find myself left with more questions than answers. Some reconstructions are purely speculative, based on textual descriptions not yet backed up by the archaeological evidence of a physical site. Others, like the Baths of Agrippa, are known to us through both physical remains and written sources, yet remain frustratingly enigmatic from a lack of consensus among these sources. The former, oddly, provide more freedom of design, while reconstructions based on the latter are prickly at best.
The Baths of Agrippa were the very first public thermæ built in Rome. The baths were part of a broad public works site undertaken by Marcus Agrippa during the late first century BCE. Connected to the Pantheon and sited firmly within the Campus Martius, the Thermæ Agrippæ were reconstructed on several occasions, either due to destructions by fire or by gradual deterioration over the centuries. Its novelty as the first public bathing complex is entwined with its elusive building plan, resulting in a number of conflicting reconstructions painting a thorny picture of the overall scheme.
My best attempts at bushwhacking through the many narratives enshrouding the Baths of Agrippa have resulted in the reconstruction I present to you today. With these many qualifiers and disclaimers in mind, we can now proceed to attempt to uncover the Thermæ Agrippæ.

This 146-meter-tall office tower marks the end of the humble skyscraper boom in early 2000’s Munich. It is the tallest building in Bavaria, only surpassed by broadcasting facilities. It was completed in 2004 and designed by German architectural firm Ingenhoven Architekten.
The unwieldy name (that is: Munich Uptown Building) derives from its address in the northern region of Munich where it’s situated close to other high-rises such as the BMW-Vierzylinder and Highlight Towers.
Its current main tenant is Spanish communications company Telefónica, hence the giant O’s on the west and east facade of the tower. The high-rise itself is surrounded by several multi-story convention centers and offices.
The model consists of 2,787 pieces (649 of which are foliage) and is built in scale 1:650.
Because my bricks have been 1000 km away from me during the last half year I started to fiddle around with LDD. Although it is of course not the same experience, the unlimitation in part-color-combination has some merit. And the 90322 Skeletonhead fits quite well as the quadriga, doesn't it?
Feel free to guess the identity of this building! Its a Detroit building north of downtown. Either from this photo or subsequent ones as construction progresses.
This is a front corner module for the new building. The previous section will attach on the right to complete the east side of the building making a total of five bays.
A 'Green Grocer' variant MOC, with a restaurant on the first floor and 3 apartments, roof access to all residents.
Full front elevation.
A view down the narrow 6th Ave. This is a very old part of town, distinguished by its yellow buildings.
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.
Lego's Architecture line includes a very nice rendition of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, built in Mill Run, Pennsylvania in the 1930s and famed for incorporating the terrain and the waterfall as major architectural elements. The Lego version, rated at Age 16+ and consisting of 811 pieces, costs $99.99 and is a very nice 3-hour build.
A key feature of this set is that the terrain is one separate build, and the house itself is several separate builds. Now the lower, middle, and upper floor, with their trademark balconies, are stacked into place. I still need to build a small roof piece and slide it on top of the upper floor, then slide the whole house into the foundation, to complete the set.

9 months ago, I built a LEGO replica of the National September 11 Memorial Museum using Stud.io software to improve my rather « ugly » first version. Now, I’ve been able to faithfully reproduce it in real life !
This new 10 times better version is made up of 3000 parts.
The building is lit at night by LEDs. 💡
The visible interior is almost faithful to the museum, and also includes the tridents of the old WTC visible from the outside at the glass facade !
Concerning geometry, big achievement for my part. I’m very proud of this fairly faithful form of the building IRL. The result is sublime with the stripes in « Metallic Silver » color. 📐
There are certainly illegal techniques, but that’s what makes the building so charming.
I had used white flexible tubes to represent the metal beams supporting the glass facade on the 3D model, but however, I didn’t particularly think of doing it again in real life, although it seems quite complex to me. I don’t know if I will do it one day, but it looks very good without. 👍
There are certainly many other details to describe but I will stop here. I sincerely hope that you like this new version, and above all, let’s never forget ! 🙏🇺🇸

Set 21013 was introduced in June 2012, just in time for the Summer Olympic Games in London a month later. For months, it was completely sold out at Lego's official stores and Lego's online store. After a bit of delay, I finally got my hands on it and built away. Despite being rather modest at 346 pieces, it consists of lots of small repetitive pieces and is therefore rated at age 12+; it took me 100 minutes or so to assemble.
Set 21016 was also introduced in June 2012, becoming the first Asian building in the Lego Architecture series; Sungnyemun is Seoul's historic main southern gate.
These are the first two non-US buildings in my Lego Architecture collection.
