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.
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 Clock Tower rises. Now the 1x1 bricks with side studs are in place, and the four clocks will be mounted there. Sadly in this model, the clocks do not sit flush with the tower's surface, unlike at the real tower.

The unpacked set. Plenty of beige seen here, consistent with other Architecture sets, and also consistent with the real Houses of Parliament (though its walls are a bit darker).
My first try at a Lego Architecture set depicting a building outside the US. Although I wanted to get London's Big Ben first, it was sold out, so I settled for Seoul's main southern gate, Sungnyemun.
This is my first attempt at building a Lego model of East Asian style building, and it turns out quite well. A worthy addition to my Lego collection, even with the disgusting fascist restoration currently under progress in South Korea.
Foundation is pretty much complete, with the pathway, the grass, and hinges in place. The hinges are for slanted side pieces.
LEGO Certified Professional Adam Reed Tucker has a LEGO Architecture display at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC, from mid-2010 to September 2011. I visited recently and was immensely impressed.

Review of the display:
What could be a more monumental way of commemorating the 2,777th anniversary of the Founding of Rome than by debuting Phase II of my SPQR diorama?
With Phase II now successfully added, the diorama grows to roughly 211,000 individual plastic bricks and represents several thousand hours of research, design and build time executed over two-and-a-half years!
A smile would belie the resolute burden of committing to recreating the entire Eternal City over many years, but I'm grateful to be tempered by a constant knowing that so many are paying close attention to this impossible overview; which 1 million fourth century inhabitants never knew themselves, and one which I can only hope to faithfully represent at this scale and in these media for millions to learn from today.
That which is done well enough, is done quickly enough. Festina lente.

This build is part of a larger display I’m developing for exhibition next year, where I’ll be revisiting and expanding on the concept of Neo Fabuland—a reinterpretation of the classic Fabuland aesthetic, much like how Neo-Classic Space draws inspiration from the original Classic Space theme. If you’re curious, you can read more about the goals of the project here.
I currently have several builds in progress for this display, and this is the first one to be completed.
While not directly based on any specific Fabuland set, this watermill draws loose inspiration from 3679 Flour Mill and Shop. It features a weathered stone-and-timber structure beside a millpond, complete with a working waterwheel, lily pads, reeds, and rounded rocks. The water cascades over the rocks to form a small waterfall. I’m especially pleased with the textures throughout—the flowing water, the stonework, and the building itself—as well as a custom spreading tree technique I developed for this scene (and will likely reuse in future Neo Fabuland builds).
This build also showcases my approach to Neo Fabuland windows, using brick-built frames with vinyl-cut sticker panes to echo the distinctive charm of original Fabuland designs.
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!
Lego White House kit for sale ($55) in the gift shop at the Lego exhibit at the National Building Museum, in Washington, DC.
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. The foundation now has been completed and slid into the terrain.
Photographed at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan during a visit on December 17, 2012.
At the time, the museum was featuring a "Towering Ambitions" display of Lego skyscrapers. This one, at eighteen feeet, is far and away the tallest. Thinking outside the brick

This is the 21002 set of Lego Architecture series, but I preferred that one designed for New York Skyline set (21028), too. So I mixed both sets to create this my personal MOC for my collection of architectural landmarks! :)
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).
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.

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).
Yes, this is the Beast's castle! So dark, so baroque, so majestic! It's a MOC created by me starting from another one, the one by jm_rkuhtect that you can find and download from Rebrickable website. I fell in love with it at first sight! I modified it in colors and dimensions, shrinking it and bringing it back to the same Architecture scale of the other sets and castles.
Check out the other MOC on jm_rkuhtect's page! He is so talented!
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.
