Reviews"Stunning...be the Corbusier of LEGO."--Wall Street Journal "As educational as it is fun, The LEGO Architect is full of bite-sized portions of architectural history, beginning with the first use of columns in ancient Egypt, back when they weren't tiny and plastic."--The Huffington Post, "Stunning...be the Corbusier of LEGO." --Wall Street Journal "As educational as it is fun, The LEGO Architect is full of bite-sized portions of architectural history, beginning with the first use of columns in ancient Egypt, back when they weren't tiny and plastic." --The Huffington Post "For many budding architects the first step on the road to blueprints and T-squares is a trip to the toy store. The models are sure to motivate future architects--or future LEGO artists--to get building." --Architectural Digest " The LEGO Architect has sucked me in for hours, and I can't wait to build all of the plans." --GeekDad "This is likely one of the most useful books that I will ever own. Any of the LEGO-themed books from No Starch Press are as beautiful as they are practical." --Forbes "A handy manual to get the architecture enthusiast thinking about historic styles in commercial architecture...near perfect." --About.com Architecture "An inspirational showcase of architectural designs re-created with LEGOs...reconnect with the satisfaction of building something block by block." --The Wirecutter "The perfect book to turn your childhood LEGO® collection into a legitimate (and seriously fun) adult pastime." --Finn MacLeod, Arch Daily
