Black Numenorean Posted December 16, 2020 My new Project begin : Pay tribute to Marseille City ------------------------------------------------------------------ November 2020 Basilica Notre Dame de la Garde Marseille City Theme : Architecture and City Made by Uruk/ Hugo ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- EN Notre Dame de la Garde in few figures : Outer length : 52,2m Outer width : 16,8m Cupola diameter : 6,8m Height of the statue of the Virgin Mary : 11,8m FR Notre Dame de la Garde en quelques chiffres Largeur exterieur : 52,2m Longeur exterieur : 16,8m Diamètre de la coupole : 6,8m Hauteur de la statue de la Vierge : 11,8m -------------------------------------------------------------------- EN Notre Dame de la Garde is a minor basilica from the 19th century. Emblem of Marseille, it dominates the city and the Mediterranean sea from the top of La Garde hill. It replaced an old chapel dating from 1214 because Marseille population could not go to require it because the space was cramped. The work is by Jacques Henri Esperandieu, a young architecture of 23 years old. FRNotre-Dame-de-la-Garde est une basilique mineure du XIXᵉ siècle. Emblème de Marseille, elle domine la ville et la mer Méditerranée depuis le sommet de la colline Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. Elle remplaça une vieille chapelle datant de 1214 faute de places L'oeuvre est de Jacques Henri Esperandieu, un jeune architecte de 23ans. ------------------------------------------------------------------- BasilicNotreDame by Hugo, sur Flickr ------------------------------------------------------------------- EN My work in few figures : 120 hours to build the Basilic 50 hours to modelising on the logiciel Studio 2.0 3180 bricks FR Mon travail en quelques chiffres 120 heurs pour construire la Basilique 50 heures pour le modéliser sur le logiciel studio 2.0 3180 bricks lego en tout --------------------------------------------------------------------- EN The construction of the work in Lego requires more than 3000 bricks. The proportions are practically respected even if a caveat must be asked: the statue of the Virgin Mary in reality is the size of the Dome. It's hard to imagine such a large Virgin in Lego. The interior of the Basilica has also been redone on a microscale. I hope you will enjoy reproducing this construction, emblem of an entire Marseille people. FR La construction de l'oeuvre en Legonécessite plus de 3 000 bricks Lego. Les proportions sont pratiquement respecté même si un bémol doit être posé: la statue de la vierge Marie en réalité fait la taille du dôme. Difficile de concevoir une Vierge aussi grande en lego. L'intérieur de la Basilique a aussi été refait à l'échelle microscale. Là aussi, difficile de refaire à l'identique l'oeuvre d'Esperandieu. J'espère que vous apprécierez de reproduire cette construction, emblème de tout un peuple marseillais -------------------------------------------------------------------- Top donateur : - DocMariachi (instagram) ------------------------------------------------------------------ If you liked my work, please subscribe on my instagram/ Flickr, likes the pictures And if you want to support me : https://utip.io/uruk In addition, if you want to redo my creation, you can buy the notice on Rebrickable : Rebrickable ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is juste the first step of my project : pay tribute to my city : Marseille A lot of new things will come in 2021.

JintaiZ Posted December 16, 2020 Nice build! I think a white color might work better though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
higgins91 Posted December 17, 2020 Nice achievement, but isn't there a floor missing on the tower? There are 2 floors of arches above the door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something I've noticed too, something doesn't look 'right'. Except that 'small' detail, it's looks great. Are you gonna build the rest too? Would be great.

henrysunset Posted December 28, 2020 The iconic alternating light and dark bands on the arches took me right back to southern Spain, walking into the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba. You have achieved the detail well at a small scale! I've added this to my small but growing collection of Islamic and Byzantine LEGO Architecture on my Pinterest board. Thanks for sharing! —Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
