LEGO Architecture

Architects, cityscape lovers, building junkies and kids aged 7 and up will love the Lego architecture kits. In addition to being great learning tools, the building kits simply foster a deeper appreciation for architectural design and the work of celebrated architects around the world.

You'll find all the kits in the LEGO series of architecture and landmark buildings here with a brief summary of each replica and links provided so you can learn more about the individual kit. The kits come wtih instructions and a history of the building. All the LEGO material you need to recreate these landmarks in included. 

I've added an interview with the creator of this Lego series and not only do you hear him talk about his work and his plans for this collection, but you'll see the larger models he created that were displayed at the time in the Chicago Museum of Science and Technology. And a little further down there's the SPEEDBUILDING video that is a terrific time-lapse photographic journey of the building of the White House model. Enjoy. 

The LEGO Architecture series of building sets is the brainchild of architect Adam Reed Tucker who is quite simply passionate about buildings. His dream is to bring architecture to kids. He wants them to interact with the idea of archetecture and what better way than by using those time-honored and traditional building and construction methods created by LEGO? Hear him explain his vision and show off his displays in the video below. 

Teachers and parents know the value children receive when they play with LEGO brick builder sets. If you want to foster an interest in science, technology, math and even engineering, giving kids the Lego bricks to play with is a great way to start. And with all the themes and variety of kits offered, girls and boys will have hours of fun and not even realize how much they are learning. Today LEGO works in concert with the educational system to help provide tools to assist teachers and enhance curriculum. Playing with LEGO bricks does the following: 

• Empowers creativity

The model building sets bring home the majesty and vision of these famous landmarks around the world. They also demonstrate the genius of architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, and it's hard to miss the sheer engineering vision behind buildings such as Dubai's Burj Khalifa which readily captures the imagination of young and old alike.
