Lego Architecture is a sub-brand and product range of the Lego construction toy, which aims to “celebrate the past, present and future of architecture through the Lego Brick”.[1] The brand includes a series of Lego sets designed by ‘Architectural Artist’ Adam Reed Tucker, and each contain the pieces and instructions to build a model of a famous architectural building in micro-scale. Adam Reed Tucker earned a degree in architecture at Kansas State University in 1996.[2] While there, he sought a method to join his two passions of art and architecture, and hit upon the idea of using Lego bricks. From this, he founded Brickstructures, Inc., and began to design and build models of famous landmarks. His work was noticed by the Lego Group, and together they formed a partnership to release some of his models as commercially available Lego sets under the Lego Architecture brand.
Sets in the product line contain a premium booklet, that – besides the build instructions – also include various information and pictures of the building itself. By the beginning of 2010, six sets had been released in the range, under two 'series'. Within the 'Landmark Series' are models of the Sears Tower (21000), John Hancock Center (21001), the Empire State Building (21002), and the Seattle Space Needle (21003). Within the 'Architect Series' are models of the Guggenheim Museum (21004) and Fallingwater (21005). In the beginning of July 2010, a seventh set, the White House (21006), was released. An eighth set (21007) was released in November 2010: New York's Rockefeller Center. The ninth set (21009), Farnsworth House (Plano, Illinois), was released in April 2011. A tenth set (21008), The Burj Khalifa, was released in June 2011. The Willis Tower (21000) was also released in 2011, this kit was a re-issue of the original Sears Tower kit; the only change was the printed tile to reflect the building's renaming.
An eleventh and twelfth set, the Robie House (21010) and the Brandenburg Gate (21011) were released in September 2011. In January 2012, it was announced that the next Architecture set would be 21012 Sydney Opera House. The set was released in March 2012. In June 2012, Big Ben (21013) was released. In July 2012, the Namdaemun Gate (renamed Sungnyemun Gate) (21016) was released. In September 2012, the Villa Savoye (21014) was released. The Eames House (21015) was scheduled and then canceled, as it never came out as a set. In June 2013, the Leaning Tower of Pisa (21015) was announced for the Lego Architecture series. Its set number (21015) replaced the original Eames House after it was canceled. United Nations Headquarters (21018) came out next. In October 2013, Marina Bay Sands and the Eiffel Tower were both announced. The product range has been reviewed favourably by many commentators. Journalist Jenny Williams said "The scale on these kits is pretty small, though, so don’t expect exquisite detail.

The whole point of LEGO Technic is about creating complex, realistic, working machines like the one in this Top Ten List… What would be of a LEGO Technic blog without a top ten list? I have built a list with the Technic sets I have been more impressed. I have a few of them and I will try for sure to get the rest. So here is the listBecause the Unimog 400 is a big big vehicle which includes Power Functions set and features a pneumatically powered, articulated crane with working grab and a recovery winch on the front. Read here my review of the LEGO 8110 Unimog. You can still buy LEGO Technic 8110 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400 at Amazon but you better hurry up because it is already retired.
I could give you a thousand reasons why this model should be here, but you better read my review of this fantastic set and discover it by yourself. You can buy the LEGO Technic 42009 Mobile Crane at Amazon.Because it features a double IR control and lots of Power Function motors. You can buy LEGO Technic 8043: LEGO Power Functions Motorized Excavator at Amazon but the price is plainly nuts.Just look how cool it looks, I couldn’t but buy it. Also it has IR remote control, two L Motors and one of the new servo motors ( no more rubber bands on the steering ). Read my review of this fantastic set here. You should definitively buy LEGO Technic 9398: 4X4 Crawler at AmazonAlthough it won’t take off the ground it is a really cool looking helicopter and you can add Power Functions so the rotor spins like a real helicopter. This is one of the next model I will buy. Here is my review. I really enjoyed this set. You can order LEGO Technic 9396: Rescue Helicopter now from Amazon.
There has been a few great cars on LEGO Technic, like an Enzo Ferrari. This supercar is an example of how cool it can look… although if you google a bit you will see MOC by people that make this car look like a toy. You can buy LEGO Technic 8070: Supercar from Amazon.You won’t believe how big and cool this car is. When I built it I was simply amazed. In my opinion one of the best LEGO set I have ever built in price/quality. Don’t miss my review. It is not yet late to buy it at Amazon. I am sure you won’t regret it.This is maybe the coolest set ever released by LEGO in the Technic range. With Mindstorms you can create your own robots and machines. It is so nice that I already have two EV3 and one NXT 2.0 Here you have some examples of robot I have built like the Line Follower or the Color Sorter Go and buy one before you regret about it at AmazonI am a 100% serious. This is one of the most enlightening Technic sets that I have touch. When you build it you have the sense of understanding.
You are one with the LEGO. And what the hell… the experience only cost 9€. You must read my review of the Model A and Model B. Go and check if Amazon still has it in stock because it is worth every pound you spend on it.When LEGO retired the Unimog they had a new secret weapon. This is the new set that add Power functions and pneumatic pumps for a fraction of the price of the Unimog. Right now available at Amazon I couldn’t end this list without a bike. And this bike is at the same time wonderfull and affordable. You can’t be serious? Did you see this beauty? Read my review and know why you shouldn’t miss this bike. Get one from Amazon for barely £20 Here you have the instructions booklets to build this LEGO Technic model, given that you have the parts. My best advise is get a big model and buy the rest of parts from Bricklink. Name your favorite LEGO Technic Model, help me complete this list. Just one constraint, it has to be created by LEGO.
