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.
