Architecture series - 21013 Big Ben & 21005 Fallingwater
本帖最後由 Ripples 於 4-8-2013 11:44 PM 編輯It appears that there are not many posts about the Architecture series. Here are two of my sets:
21013 Big Ben
Excerpts from the manual - as usual there are several pages on the architect(s) and the history of the building, with a lot of colour pictures.

It is a compact model, measuring 8cm x 9.5cm x 19.6cm, which makes it perfect for display on your desk or bookshelf. It's a bit tricky to assemble the model neatly, though, for there are numerous 1 x 1 bricks (which also make it more time consuming to build). On the whole it is a nice addition to my collection. And here is 21005 Fallingwater, a beautiful building by Frank Lloyd Wright:

I like this handsome model a lot. I have another Frank Lloyd Wright building - 21017 Imperial Hotel, but I haven't got the time to build it yet. Maybe I'll update this post later. 村上:67:
i would buy the book of that archiect / building rather than pay for this small booklet. 回復 1# Ripples
簡單而精緻的感覺
而已佔地亦少
挺令人吸引的系列
COOL~ 回復 2# Ripples
Hi Ching, Thanks for the sharing. The other White Building is cool too (Not white house). 回復 3# ygat2005
Indeed... I guess 21050 Arhitecture Studio is not going to be a bestseller... 回復 4# 白狼
Yes, I think that's a feature of the "Landmark" series. My next target is 21015 Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Thanks, I suppose you mean 21014 Villa Savoye? Or is it 21009 Farnsworth House?

21009 farnswoth house, cos I think it will be nice if mini-figures having sunbath on it. 都好別緻喎,不過呢個系列我唔中:43: 回復 9# 70's
I see, but it would be better to make the building taller first, or else the scale would look awkward. 回復 10# SimonC
Haha, obviously you are way more into those huge modular buildings! The Architecture series is understandably much less popular - these models simply look too serious. But they have their own charms. 回復 12# Ripples
i thnik the Archi series is too small, too simply. It only remains the form of the buildings, but can't show the details of those great buildings... 回復 13# ygat2005
Taken on their own terms they are quite decently designed. The essential features are well represented. Of course, there are a lot of limitations in this approach, and the modelling style may suit certain architectural movements better. essential feature is the form of buildings?:58:
This series only reconstructed the form / appearance of those buildings, but the theories, reasons, etc. why it became like this was lost. Does it follow the climate/region, forced by culture, evolution of technology, revive / resist of a period, or just Expressionism...
Thus, i think cardboard + glue still the best model of architecture.
