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?!

I got in the habit of keeping $10-20 in the car for tolls when I lived in the lower 48, but since there aren't toll roads in AK, I've fallen out of the habit. I don't often carry cash in my wallet. 💵
There have been some cool stories of a stripped-down Batman, but for the most part, his tools and gadgets are a big part of his character. 🦇
pickBeen awhile so I can‘t remember much about this one, but I remember it was pretty good.
Happy Valentines Day - I created this bouquet today for my Valentine. He was surprised when it was delivered to work by his favorite uber driver ☺️ Yes, there are Lego roses in there. I figured they would last longer🖤 this was not the final result, I added a few extras but I forgot to take a picture 😞🖤 to all that don‘t I hope you celebrate 50% of candy day❤️ #funnyvalentine #valentine #legos
Now I‘ve got this one and the bookstore. I was going to get the Paris related ones but changed my mind. If they ever come out with a New York public library or a library of Alexandria I‘ll be thrilled.
A book (résolution by li-cam not in litsy database) and a Lego bookshelf, a good kind of Christmas for this reader ;)
Merry Christmas :)
On a lighter note…I needed to buy some Lego sets for Christmas. Lego had this Books are My Passion set (after spending $130). LEGO was the only place that had 2 of the sets my 15 year old wanted. I think the promotion runs till 11/11. I really wish they would just sell these in the stores as a set to purchase.
Spent some time putting together this LEGO Ideas “Books are my passion” kit. Just a little zen time before turning on the cable news coverage.

Got my notification on 10/18 that my ballot had been transferred to batch XYZ to be counted. Saw that AZ started counting last night.
Maybe we see results tonight🤞🏼💙🌵
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. 15h
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. 15h
High-Tech Deconstructivism: my beloved. 🤩 I definitely need to find works, not Lego focused, that go into more visual examples about this architectural style. 15h
