Lego willis tower - 21000 Manual De Instrucciónes
As an Architectural Artist my desire is to capture the
essence of a particular landmark into its pure sculptural
form, especially at this small scale. I fi rst and foremost
do not view my models as literal replicas, but rather my
own artistic interpretations, harnessing the essence of
these landmark’s through the use of LEGO
form, especially at this small scale. I fi rst and foremost
do not view my models as literal replicas, but rather my

bricks as
a medium. The LEGO brick is not initially thought of as
a material typically used in creating art or used as an
artist’s medium. I quickly discovered the LEGO brick
was lending itself as naturally to my applications as
paint to a painter or metal to a blacksmith. As I explore
how to capture these buildings with the basic shapes
of the bricks, I fi nd the possibilities and challenges
they off er almost magical.
