Recently, a Lego Store opened here in Charlotte, and since my 6 year old is a lego fanatic, naturally we had to go. Among all the lego kits for Star Wars and Indiana Jones, I noticed several kits based on architectural works. Not necessarily aimed for the younger kids, I thought they were pretty neat and would be interesting for a teenager that may be interested in the field, and definately for those adults who are interested in architecture, whether they are in the field or not. I saw the Empire State Building and the Sears Tower, but evidently they have several more available. When I came across this article, it was nice to see how the series came to be.
It would be interesting to carry this to other types of engineered structures as well, maybe like the Golden Gate Bridge or something similiar.
At any rate, it looked like something I might like to purchase for myself, partly to remind myself of the times I spent putting Legos together as a kid, and to connect a little bit with the field that I depend on for my livelihood.
