LEGO Architecture: A Global Collection of Iconic Structures
LEGO's Architecture line offers a captivating journey around the world, showcasing iconic structures from ancient wonders to modern marvels. But is replicating real-world architecture more challenging than designing original creations? Original designs benefit from a blank slate, free from pre-conceived expectations. However, LEGO Architecture presents unique challenges. Does a designer aim for precise replication, or capture the essence and mental image evoked by the structure's name?

LEGO Architecture Set Availability
As of January 2025, the official LEGO store lists nine LEGO Architecture sets. Interestingly, the Eiffel Tower is categorized as an "Icon" rather than Architecture. A broader site search is recommended to ensure no sets are overlooked.
LEGO Architecture sets are particularly appealing to adults, given their design and lack of appeal to children. The limited number of sets is surprising, considering the potential for replicas of numerous architectural landmarks as popular souvenirs.
