Lego Architecture

Lego Architecture, coming soon

You heard me. Lego. Architecture. It’s not available yet, but I hope they carry the stylish, minimalistic design aesthetic through to the retail products. Compared to the usual Lego packaging, it’s downright restful.

The concept itself is compelling. Architecture rendered in Lego is certainly nothing new, but official Lego master builders bring a surprising combination of economy and beauty to their models. My five-year-old uses sets with a couple dozen bricks and a clear design to build amazingly evocative little sculpture/toys, so I can’t wait to see what he’ll make of these.

    So, so love this. Art for the masses!

    No pics of your kid’s creations? C’mon! I bet they’re smart AND adorable…

    This is rad. I’m thinking my kid would probably just throw these though. Any idea what demographic they’re going after?

    Comments about five-year-olds aside, I think these are targeted at adults with an interest in architecture and nostalgia for Lego. It’s the kind of thing you might find at an art museum store next to the Puzz3D and the collectors-edition Lincoln Logs.
