Having a series of diagonals on both the horizontal and vertical planes calls for some impressive engineering. The primary point of interest in the design of this set are the angled beams forming the four pillars of the Tower. That's the curved soft flexible hose in the shape of an axle, with bars as connectors at either end. There are 24 1X1 plates in Light Bluish Gray which I know is hardly big news, but I'm always glad to see these in good quantities, since square 1X1s are often rejected by set designers in favour of the round versions (as they're simpler to apply and remove).Īs for rare elements, part 32200 in Flat Silver is rarest having only been in three previous sets and not seen since 2005. The only one of real note are the 30 Flat Silver /Silver Metallic grille tiles but you may be happy about the 12 Dark Green /Earth Green 2X2 tiles as these are still uncommon. Architecture sets often come with some elements in large quantities, but there are very few examples here.

The builds usually also contain stuff you wouldn't see in a regular kids' set, and hopefully these next few posts will highlight what sets Architecture apart for me. The packaging is superb, the booklets have interesting facts and the finished models make great display pieces. As the legend on the boxes says, 'Enjoy your building experience.' That's a cheesy bit of commercialese, but I almost always do enjoy them. This is partly because 21005 Fallingwater was my conversion set, but it's not just sentimentality. I've always been interested in architecture - both my parents were architects - and I suppose it is true to say the LEGO® Architecture line is my favourite theme, and that creating my own microscale architecture is my favourite building pastime. Adding a section with clipart timelines and historical maps would enrich the learning experience.I'm having a bit of an Architecture phase at the moment, building some of the recent sets in this line which have been burning holes in my shelves for weeks, or even months.
