Lego Architecture Sets

Kids, teens, and adults love Legos! They have certainly become highly collectible and, at times, very hard to find. A few years ago, our son started building the Lego Architecture sets of sites we visited. These built sets now serve as a memento, or 3D scrapbook of sorts, for our family. As we build vacation memories, he builds Lego replicas. It is really rather neat to look at the miniature Lego replicas and remember actually visiting the real historical site.

This past Christmas he actually ask for Lego architecture sets of places we have not been, but that he would someday like to visit. It will be a lot of fun to watch him move them to the “visited” collection shelf once he actually gets to go to the actual site. He loves history and historical monuments. I hope he gets the opportunity to see each and every one of them.

Here are several of the best Lego Architecture sets that include famous buildings from around the world. Lego provides a way for your kids, teens, and Lego enthusiasts of all ages to have fun building the designs while they learn about the architects and history around the building or monument.

Some of the Lego architecture sets are showcased and described below. You are sure to find several amazing sets for ages 10 and up. Each featured Lego architecture set has a brief overview on this page. You can click on the image or name of the item to find out more or to purchase the set. Like all Legos, these sets are creative and imaginative, but as somewhat unique since they are real world site replica sets.

 

LEGO Architecture White House

One of the most famous houses in the United States known for it’s unique architecture, the Farnsworth House has historic significance going back to about 1945. You can build this single story house and learn about the “glass house” architect, the history of the building, and much more.

LEGO Architecture series building sets are not just for kids. They are a step up from the LEGO of younger days. The ‘grown up’ style sets have more details in design and instruction, as well as important historic facts about the building construction.

This set is recommended for ages 12 – 16 and would be a great addition to any LEGO Architecture or LEGO Modular Building collection sets.
