Why it’s great

Using the universal appeal of LEGO bricks, this book walks kids (and parents) through seven architectural styles, from Neoclassical to Modernism. Photo-rich chapters pair real-world landmarks with step-by-step mini-builds, helping readers see how columns, arches, and cantilevers translate into brick form. Tips on advanced building techniques grow with the child’s skills, so the book stays relevant for years. A playful gateway to serious design concepts.
