These clever building tips will give you endless inspiration for making your own amazing mansions, castles, houses, spooky shacks, and more. Every chapter includes ideas for creating architectural elements like columns, doors, windows, and walls. But rather than providing step-by-step instructions, the book includes helpful photography from every angle that shows you how to achieve the look, adapt it to your build, and make it your own. Learn how to: - Build amazing walls that break the mold, with brick-and-mortar effects, weathered walls, and loose bricks - Recreate structural effects like timber framing, soaring towers and turrets, shingled roofs,clapboard siding, and more - Elevate your models with “stained glass”, intricate color patterns, and tumble-down wear-and-tear - Use pieces like croissants, snakes, and goblets to make unique architectural ornamentation Bursting with clever ideas, The LEGO Architecture Idea Book will show you how to turn your buildings into impressive, realistic structures. Review: Lots and lots of ideas to use! - This was a great book with lots of ideas to use in your own builds. It doesn't give specific instructions, it just shows you pictures of what you can do with different parts. Some of the ideas are very creative and things I wouldn't have thought about on my own. It really gets your creative juices flowing to think of what other ways you can use some of your own pieces. Review: Inspirational guide to LEGO architecture - I've had my hands on this book for only a few days but it's already at the top of my list of favorite books on LEGO (and I own or have read many of the books on LEGO design and building). I love this particular book because it is filled with page after page over wonderful ideas for any aspect of architecture. The book invites you to experiment with your LEGO collection to build ornate windows, sloping roofs, rounded walls, etc. This book is not a how-to guide. Different architectural elements are presented over several pages with different examples using different pieces. The text is kept at a minimum, giving short explanations when necessary and piece descriptions and part number (Great for online shopping for specific pieces). There are few instructions on how to build and when there are it is more if a diagram rather than a step-by-step guide. There are few examples of completed products. Most of the focus of the book is on different architecture elements in isolation. Its up to the reader to take these different ideas and construct an architectural masterpiece. Highly recommended for advanced LEGO builders. The book might be a disappointed for parents of younger children as the idea require a lot of very specific brick types (and often in vast quantities). Overall, inspirational and well-done. Highly recommended!

What a great book! Novel idea with excellent execution!
As a curator for a small children's library with 1000s of the neatest picture books and coffee table books from around the world, I've seen a lot of Lego books--many of which are fun and impressive. This one's a bit different than any others I've seen, and is such a great idea! I love it. Often Lego books show complete creations (buildings, bots, animals, etc.), which are fun to look at but not applicable or reproducible for most builders and children. This book is different. It focuses on parts and portions of buildings which can be incorporated into anyone's designs. It not only inspires builders to think outside the box, but gives an excellent and creative foundation for them to launch from. Thank you Alice for sharing your wonderful ideas and talent with the world! This is not only an excellent idea for a book, but an exceptional execution of that idea. I was an avid lego builder as a child, and now I'm an internationally published eco-architect designing affordable eco-friendly homes around the world. I think it's so neat that children can be inspired to think creatively, build their own inventions, dream big, work with their hands, etc.

Great ideas to use with imagination
Lot of good ideas for my kid who was wanting architecture book for his Lego's. Shows many doable styles of structure parts to build using common blocks. Does not show how to build models so you do need to use imagination to piece together the suggestions to actually build buildings which is fine with us as that is what my son was wanting a architecture book for. Way better than the Lego brand books he has a few of already.

So much information in one book. Awesome!
This book is a must have for anyone who builds Lego buildings. It takes you way beyond the standard Lego doors and windows and into the realm of sophisticated construction that makes your build really stand out. The book is full of concepts that add realism and actual architectural details . Each concept is presented in an instructional format that is easy to follow and duplicate.You will not be disappointed if you get this book. It has become a constant referral source for me.Thank you Alice!

Loved it!
I bought this for a 20 year old Lego enthusiast & it was a huge hit. He loves building neighborhoods & creating his own buildings so this gave him so many new ideas. I’m not sure if it would be good for a novice or beginner but for a more experienced builder, it was great.
