Critical Reviews
Critical 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 "For many budding architects the first step on the road to blueprints and T-squares is a trip to the toy store. The models are sure to motivate future architects--or future LEGO artists--to get building."
--Architectural Digest "The LEGO Architect has sucked me in for hours, and I can't wait to build all of the plans."
--GeekDad "This is likely one of the most useful books that I will ever own. Any of the LEGO-themed books from No Starch Press are as beautiful as they are practical."
--Forbes "A handy manual to get the architecture enthusiast thinking about historic styles in commercial architecture...near perfect."
--About.com Architecture "An inspirational showcase of architectural designs re-created with LEGOs...reconnect with the satisfaction of building something block by block."
--The Wirecutter "The perfect book to turn your childhood LEGO(R) collection into a legitimate (and seriously fun) adult pastime."
--Finn MacLeod, Arch Daily
