Pickpick

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.
4d
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.
4d
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.
4d
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. 4d
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? 🤷🏼‍♂️ 4d

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?!

The rooster I colored and wrote my last story about reappears in this story. I cross stitched this picture of this hen. She‘s a new hen in town.

There‘s nothing better than a gooey grilled cheese when you‘re sick & have to stay home. When I was a kid, if I had to stay out of school when I was sick, I‘d stay at my Grandma‘s & she‘d make me a grilled cheese while I watched The Price Is Right. (took some liberties with the syllables!) 🧡💛🧡

Never underestimate
the healing powers of a
gooey grilled cheese.
