LEGO Architecture: The Visual Guide Book Review

December 4, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few days ago, I received a package in the mail from DK and inside was the fairly recent released LEGO Architecture: The Visual Guide. I actually got two copies of the book so I’ll be doing a giveaway after the review so stay tuned for that.

The book itself is a hardback which contains 232 pages and retails for $40. Like all other DK books, you know you’ll be getting high quality content as well as crisp images.

The first thing you notice when you first look at the LEGO Architecture: The Visual Guide is the sheer size of it. The book comes with a nice slipcover which features some of the more recognizable Architecture sets.

LEGO noticed Adam’s models and were so impressed with his vision that they relaunched the Architecture line in 2008. The book also takes a look at the four LEGO designers who have worked on the theme including Steen Sig Andersen, Rok Zgolin Kobe, Jorn Kristian Thomsen, and Michael Hepp.

In between the previous chapters is a visual timeline of all 22 LEGO Architecture sets that have been produced since 2008. This timeline is split into the Landmark Series and … Continue
