The very first two Lego Architecture sets, released 2008, featured Chicago's two most prominent skyscrapers, the Sears Tower (Set 21000) and the John Hancock Center (Set 21001). The Hancock, which failed to replicate the real building's slanted exterior walls, was discontinued at the end of 2011, while the Sears Tower set was renamed the Willis Tower, to coincide with the renaming of the real thing.
The Willis Tower is a straightforward build using 69 pieces.
The completed model, with two antennas on top that also serve to hide the studs of the top brick.
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.
The unpacked set. Lots more beige pieces like my previous Architecture sets, plus many of them are small. This won't be a child's play.
Set 21004, part of the Architecture series, depicts New York City's Guggenheim Museum. It consists of 208 pieces, is rated Age 10+, and took me 40 minutes to build.
The famous spiral rotunda, which I was unable to enter during my October 2011 visit due to an exhibit installation, takes form on this set using six round dishes and two spacer pieces, anchored by a cross rod.
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.
Modular buildings, based (loosely) on the free plans, provided by Kristel, on the Rebrickable site (rebrickable.com/mocs/kjw010/white-picket-fences), as well as on Kristel's site, (<a href="https://modularsbykristel.com/"
This is the consolidation of Lego sets 40178, 40305, 60097, and 5005358 into one Modular Building Lego Store.
First floor includes the pick a brick wall, the "Cash Wrap," shelves of product, and other displays. The Second floor has additional shelves of products and displays. The Third floor holds the Manager's office area, the stock room, the employee's bathroom, and the minifig factory assembly station. All 4 sets are represented within the building, plus I grabbed a couple of additional parts from 31081 Skate House, (the black 4x3x1 frame for the trap door on the roof, and the printed 2x2x1 graffiti Dk red brick).
This is the 21013 set of the Architecture series, but I have modified just some little details, above all on the roof the tower! :)
️ SUBURA MEDIA - Design Insights
📜 You'd be forgiven for thinking - given the title of Subura Media - this portion of the densely populated ancient neighborhood of Rome would fall between the previously covered minor and maior. While you'd be correct in the topographical ordering of the three, Subura Media comes out on top as the one with the largest area, which is especially fitting given it is the final subsection of my Phase II design efforts focused entirely on Subura.
Don't miss these all-new DESIGN Insights post highlighting Phase II of my ongoing efforts to build all of Ancient Rome, circa mid-4th century CE!
😎 These insights are EXCLUSIVE to Corinthian patrons, and peel back the curtain months before these designs will be shared publicly. The renderings, on the other hand, are shared with patrons of all tiers.

This is the MOC I made in Queens on Friday night. I was just playing around with the bricks and trying to achieve different shapes and add some SNOT for detail and to break away from keeping it all square.
I was able to attend two different events here in NYC, in Queens on Friday and in Manhattan on Monday. Both days were basically just free building, but it was fun.
It is a modular fish market sized 64x32 studs comprising seven pavilions and few bridges. The market is divided into wet goods and dry goods zone, with shops ranged from fish stalls, flower shop and grocery stores at Ground, and cafe and restaurant on the 1st Floor. Vibrant Coral and Dark Azur are adopted as colour palette of the design. Built with several types of window frames, a huge canopy provides weather proection to the people below. Enjoy shopping and eating with proper distancing!
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.
This is just a little preview of the new Lego-Architecture sets.
No credit goes to me.
Update: The sets are now aviable at shop @ home. Cklick here: shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Leaf.aspx?cn=627&d=70

The completed set - quite an awesome sight. This is my first Architecture set that represents something I have not seen in person, though based on photographs of the real Fallingwater, the essence is well captured in this set. To allow further appreciation of the architecture, this set was designed modularly; the terrain is one separate build, the foundation of the house a second separate build, and each of the three floors, plus the roof, are all separate builds as well, sliding out easily.
Set 21007 is modeled after New York City's Rockefeller Center. It consists of 240 pieces, is rated Age 10+, and took me 40 minutes to build.
The pieces, plus the instruction manual that includes details on the building itself and its construction in the 1930s.

I'm proud to present you this MOC in Lego Architecture style designed by one of the most important and talented AFOL on the earth, Spencer_R! Thank to him, I managed to re-build it in Lego Digital Design before and then with real bricks! :)
Here the original project by Spencer: www.flickr.com/photos/51130204@N04/7051638741/in/dateposted/
Here my model in LDD, already posted by Spencer_R: www.flickr.com/photos/51130204@N04/40715947353/in/faves-1...
Thank you again Spencer! :)
Based loosely on BCD Colonial Revival House instructions. Instead of it being the 3 floors of simple boxes, I've fleshed it out a bit, adding fully furnished rooms and stairs to the second floor and a pull down ladder to the attic (which is also furnished with a guest bed and a desk/office area).
This is the 21011 set of the Architecture series, but I have changed just the group of statues, on the top of the building! :)

At just 57 pieces, the Space Needle set is the simplest in the Architecture series - and most likely the simplest Lego set I am ever likely to assemble. Despite that, it is not easy, due to its unusual shapes and a need to cut three of the tower's legs to the proper length.
The three legs are cut, bent, and inserted into their proper places. At the real Space Needle, the three curved legs carry the observation deck's weight, but for this model, the connector pieces, which form the center column that houses the elevator shaft in real life, is the structural element, and the three outer legs are for aesthetics only.
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.
The top portion of the Clock Tower under assembly. Once it is mounted on the tower, the assembly is finished.

Several different kinds of 1x1 bricks with different side stud configurations, as well as 1x2 tiles and 1x2 grille tiles suspended fromm the side studs, are used for the elaborate window configurations seen at the Houses of Parliament.

A key feature of this set is that the terrain is one separate build, and the house itself is several separate builds. Here is the base of the house foundation and side walls.
