Take your creations to the next level with The LEGO Architecture Idea Book! These clever building tips will give you endless inspiration for making your own amazing mansions, castles, houses, spooky shacks, and more.

Every chapter includes ideas for creating architectural elements like columns, doors, windows, and walls. But rather than providing step-by-step instructions, the book includes helpful photography from every angle that shows you how to achieve the look, adapt it to your build, and make it your own.

Learn how to:

- Build amazing walls that break the mold, with brick-and-mortar effects, weathered walls, and loose bricks
- Recreate structural effects like timber framing, soaring towers and turrets, shingled roofs,clapboard siding, and more
- Elevate your models with “stained glass”, intricate color patterns, and tumble-down wear-and-tear
- Use pieces like croissants, snakes, and goblets to make unique architectural ornamentation

Bursting with clever ideas, The LEGO Architecture Idea Book will show you how to turn your buildings into impressive, realistic structures.
"Flipping through the book’s 200+ pages, you’ll quickly realize that there’s seemingly no LEGO element that Alice can’t turn into window, roof, wall, or decorative element."
—Brick Architect

"Whether you’re new to building freeform architectural LEGO builds or you’re an old pro who needs some fresh ideas, if you like building architectural elements of any kind, this book is a must-have for your LEGO reference library."
—GeekDad

"Builders who want a reference on all sorts of architecture points, ideas, and tricks will find exactly what they need here."
—Brick Pals
Alice Finch is a renowned LEGO builder known for her largescale models. Her work has been featured in The Huffington Post, Wired, NPR, and The Seattle Times.
