2012 LEGO Architecture News & Discussion

[Siegfried]

How can I be early I was sent the email from LEGO themselves, the same press release and image is also on Brickset :p

Beats me, but their image is watermarked too...

[SpiderSpaceman]

I'm a sucker for any set with a 16x16 plate. Also square cones. Oh, and the texturing with the grilles is one of my favorite microscale techniques. (I'm using something similar in my own rendition of a 'minecraft micro world' - Nether Fortress window bars).

But damn, $30.

I'd rather just keep saving for a tower bridge.

[The Blue Brick]

This is great, one of the better designs of the architecture series imo.

[swe3t23]

ooo i like it!!!

[Churchill]

Overall I like the look of this, and plan to pick it up. The clock face bothers me, too, though. Just seems like for such a well known "clock" that that very commonly used clock piece is out of place. I wish there was another solution.

I like it. I've never really been a fan of Architecture series enough to buy one. This one may change that. I was(and still am) considering the Robie House, but yikes, so expensive.

If you're referring to the Eames House, it seems the rumor may have been a bit premature: check out this discussion. I really hope it does eventually come out though.

Coming September 2012:

Clearly the Villa Savoye. My sources say it's 660 pieces, but I don't have any other new info at the moment; does anyone else?

Actually looks real nice. I want to see how it looks inside...

[tafkatb]

That does look very nice! I mean, I'm not a fan of le Corbusier but I might still need to get this. Looks like the set is by another new designer, too, but I can't quite make out the name.

[Ceroknight]

That looks amazing!

Still very overpriced for $70

Here is the back pic of the 21014 Villa Savoye:

And I got the Sungnyemun Built.

Here are some pics:

The roof is pretty cool

hehe the policeman didnt come with it:

Here the first HR official image of....

Build a LEGO brick model of this famous modernist-style country house residence! Situated on the outskirts of

Paris, France, Villa Savoye was designed by Le Corbusier in the 1920s as the perfect embodiment of Le Corbusier's

"Five Points" construction principles. This fusion of modern architecture and nature was intended to create harmony

with Villa Savoye's woodland surroundings. Just like the real thing, this set features columns, functional roof space,

open floor planning, long horizontal windows and a free facade. This LEGO Architecture series interpretation of

Villa Savoye was designed by German architect Michael Hepp in collaboration with the LEGO design team.

The latest set in the Architecture line looks realistic and I just love the use of transparent bricks to create that glass look.
