![]() ![]() ![]() I have tried to create (what I hope will be) the definitive LEGO versions of some of the most iconic American skyscrapers and this website intends to not only showcase these models but also provide some insights into my design process, the challenges I have encountered, interesting building techniques I have used, etc. Centered on the work of Lego master Adam Reed Tucker, a professional architect, the show features 15 of Tucker’s Lego facsimiles of famous skyscrapers and other architectural icons. A number of other considerations also come into play when designing a LEGO model – picking the right scale, ensuring the structural integrity and portability of the model, optimizing the use of LEGO pieces based on their cost and availability, etc. A significant amount of research and planning is required in order to translate the dimensions of a real building to LEGO bricks (while preserving its overall shape and proportions). However, building LEGO models (or MOCs as AFOLs such as myself like to call them) that represent real skyscrapers with a high degree of accuracy involves much more than just stacking bricks. After all, what kid playing with LEGO hasn’t stacked these bricks as high as they could to try to create their own skyscrapers ? Using LEGO (the colorful plastic bricks that we all know and love) to build models of skyscrapers (which are among the pinnacles of human achievement – quite literally!) may seem like a no-brainer. I love my Lego layout - countless hours and many dollars 'invested.' But I love finding MOCs like this that make me consider dismantling my entire beloved city just so I can rebuild it similar to this This skyscraper (and the others in OPs video) are sooo exceptionally cool, detailed, and life-like. LEGO® Architecture sets are the best gifts for architecture students, young architects aged 13+ and adults. In this video I give some quick tips on how you can make large buildings for your lego city. Different versions of Empire State Building. ![]()
