DK’s LEGO® Architecture: A Visual Guide Sweepstakes

November 24, 2014 Posted in Uncategorized.

DK recently published LEGO® Architecture: The Visual Guide, a stunning celebration of some of the world’s most famous architecture. From the Empire State Building and the Guggenheim, to Farnsworth House, LEGO Architecture: The Visual Guide contains images of each building’s LEGO Architecture model, showing every LEGO brick involved in each build.

We love this book. Not only are the LEGO models mind-blowing, the book also includes interviews with the artists and builders who created each model. We enjoyed reading about their creative process and learning more about the real buildings that inspired each piece.
