Recommendation: yes 4.7 / 5 by Rich

I seriously recommend this book to anyone who has a passion for not only the Architecture sets but who likes to build their own buildings – whether that's small micro-scale models to full blown modulars. For me this is one of my favourite books of the year. I hope Tom does a follow-up based on other structures such as tunnels, bridges etc.

Recommendation: meh 4.7 / 5 from 152 reviews

THIS is the book that SHOULD HAVE come with my LEGO Architecture Studio set! This is the BEST Lego book I have come across. It not only gives a brief, yet concise history of different architectural styles in each chapter; plenty of beautiful pictures of famous buildings and LEGO model creations; great tips and ideas; BUT, it also gives you this: at the end of each chapter the author gives you a detailed model to build (with your LEGO Architecture Studio set) that represents that chapter's architectural style! I want more books like this one - perhaps an entire series?!? Definitely a must-have for anyone who loves small scale modeling with LEGO; especially if you too have the LEGO Architecture Studio!

Little Brick Root

by Christian

All in all, this is an excellent book. Tom Alphin has assembled a lovely tour of recent architectural history through the lens of LEGO. I can't recommend this one enough for anyone interested in building LEGO buildings at any scale.

Overall if you're starting to get into creating buildings and structures, then The LEGO Architect is a good reference guide to help you start building. The instructions given are very helpful to give you a starting point in which you can improve upon.
