LEGO Architecture transports you on a global journey, showcasing marvels from ancient wonders to modern cityscapes. But is recreating real-world structures more challenging than designing entirely original creations? The latter offers the advantage of a blank slate; no preconceived notions of what "should be," only what *is*. LEGO Architecture, however, introduces abstract considerations. Does a designer aim for precise replication, or capture the essence—the mental image evoked by a landmark's name?
