pickA 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/?
Call me a philistine for not previously recognizing the “creative potential of reinforced concrete“, but I'm pretty sure it's the Wabi Sabi that's getting me more more than the Brutalism. Aka, I think I love the depicted Palace of Assembly because it's contrasting the warm, creamy, clean, smooth base colour where the light hits directly with the parts that are weathered/dirty?!
pickSnagged my #bookspinbingo with the tagged. The story is delightful, featuring a Seelie vs. Unseelie war between fantastical creatures that can only be resolved by a couple of doughty human kids. The art is delightful. No surprises but it‘s a good time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In this weeks adventures in LEGO building, it‘s the Bugatti! Ta dah🎉 Took us five nights to build, it‘s the biggest car we‘ve done, even bigger than the Porsche. Plus it‘s heavier & much sturdier than any other model, it‘s been machined well. Pretty impressive, no? #LegoOfLitsy #isolationinteractions
In our 2nd LEGO build tonight, which took us 2hours🥳, we made a twin hull catamaran. Wish we had a full size version of this! #LegoOfLitsy
In tonight‘s adventures in LEGO building, we managed two models. First up is this crane that was almost too tall to fit in the picture! We‘re running out of models to build, don‘t know what we‘ll do for the rest of quarantine.🤔 #LegoOfLitsy #isolationinteractions
In tonight‘s adventures in LEGO building, it‘s a remote control 4x4 Monster Truck! You use your phone or iPad to control it. The hubby is giggling like a 5yr old👦🏻 #LegoOfLitsy #isolationinteractions
In today‘s adventures in LEGO building, we built a crane! Obviously. Only took us 4.5hrs, nowhere near as long as the cars. I think we‘ll be having a break tomorrow night, all that hunching, turning & stretching is tough on a bad back, then we may do a 4x4 truck or the Knight Bus. Or even the Bugatti! #isolationinteractions #masterlegobuilder #LegoOfLitsy
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. 2w
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. 2w
High-Tech Deconstructivism: my beloved. 🤩 I definitely need to find works, not Lego focused, that go into more visual examples about this architectural style. 2w
