Received to review, ages ago. My bad.

This ended up pretty fascinating, and I'm definitely getting my dad a copy. It covers the underlying principles that constrain Lego sets, design considerations, the physics of it, and much of the history of various sets and themes.

I remember these horses! I had no idea they were kinda "controversial" internally at Lego.

The bit you can see around the saddle area was a brick you could take out, so a mini-figure's legs could be put in instead, to look like they were riding the horse.

Faranae I have these! (I still have some of my legos, though my brother stole or damaged a bunch of them and unfortunately threw out my boxes and manuals). I also have a dragon. :3 2mo

I think I might've found Dad's Christmas present, this goes into stuff like the physics of how Lego bricks connect. I don't always follow, but I'm finding it interesting too.

A good place to start. Considering the ratio of educational descriptions of architectural styles to depicting examples made in real life and models in Lego, to actual instructions on how to build some of those examples in Lego, with a short builder's guide with model builder profiles in the back, I see this more as a source of inspiration than a how-to manual, but I do enjoy how it was presented as a whole. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? Turns out:
I'm not too fussed on Neoclassical (maybe as a Greek and Roman studies aka Classics major I'm biased to the original?).
I can take or leave Prairie, though there is something nostalgic about a sprawling ranch house amidst the green that just appeals to someone living in an urban setting, raised in a rural setting.
4mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/? I LOVE the ornamentation of Art Deco, but I already knew I loved Art Deco in art/jewelry, so that's no surprise.
Similar to Prairie, Modernism only works for me when it's wedged into a deeply natural setting, i.e. Fallingwater
I only dig Brutalism when it's pushing the envelope into Deconstructivism.
4mo
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 I think Postmodernism is pretty ugly across the board. 🤷🏼‍♂️
High-Tech Deconstructivism: my beloved. 🤩 I definitely need to find works, not Lego focused, that go into more visual examples about this architectural style.

Cuilin Would you say this is a good introduction to architecture? For like a classrooms library? not that I teach anymore but I find this interesting. I‘m curious about architecture. 4mo
Robotswithpersonality @Cuilin Wish I had enough knowledge to gauge knowledge receptivity/reading age, they're fairly brief descriptions of each architectural style, 3-5 pages plus photos and instructions, but they don't shy away from the big words, so I don't know if they'd be of enough benefit/a good match for a particular classroom library - maybe if teacher introduces the concept and then the kids all build using the instructions? 🤷🏼‍♂️ 4mo
