The LEGO Architecture Idea Book: 1001 Ideas for Brickwork, Siding, Windows, Columns, Roofing, and Much, Much More Review: Lots and lots of ideas to use! - This was a great book with lots of ideas to use in your own builds. It doesn't give specific instructions, it just shows you pictures of what you can do with different parts. Some of the ideas are very creative and things I wouldn't have thought about on my own. It really gets your creative juices flowing to think of what other ways you can use some of your own pieces. Review: Inspirational guide to LEGO architecture - I've had my hands on this book for only a few days but it's already at the top of my list of favorite books on LEGO (and I own or have read many of the books on LEGO design and building). I love this particular book because it is filled with page after page over wonderful ideas for any aspect of architecture. The book invites you to experiment with your LEGO collection to build ornate windows, sloping roofs, rounded walls, etc. This book is not a how-to guide. Different architectural elements are presented over several pages with different examples using different pieces. The text is kept at a minimum, giving short explanations when necessary and piece descriptions and part number (Great for online shopping for specific pieces). There are few instructions on how to build and when there are it is more if a diagram rather than a step-by-step guide. There are few examples of completed products. Most of the focus of the book is on different architecture elements in isolation. Its up to the reader to take these different ideas and construct an architectural masterpiece. Highly recommended for advanced LEGO builders. The book might be a disappointed for parents of younger children as the idea require a lot of very specific brick types (and often in vast quantities). Overall, inspirational and well-done. Highly recommended! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #193,254 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #39 in Model Building #974 in Architecture (Books) #2,169 in Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (742) | | Dimensions | 9.25 x 0.79 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1593278217 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1593278212 | | Item Weight | 2.11 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 232 pages | | Publication date | September 25, 2018 | | Publisher | No Starch Press | ## Images ![The LEGO Architecture Idea Book: 1001 Ideas for Brickwork, Siding, Windows, Columns, Roofing, and Much, Much More - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Xkkm9j1eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots and lots of ideas to use! *by T***R on December 28, 2025* This was a great book with lots of ideas to use in your own builds.

Novel idea with excellent execution! *by E***R on January 10, 2019* As a curator for a small children's library with 1000s of the neatest picture books and coffee table books from around the world, I've seen a lot of Lego books--many of which are fun and impressive. This one's a bit different than any others I've seen, and is such a great idea! I love it. Often Lego books show complete creations (buildings, bots, animals, etc.), which are fun to look at but not applicable or reproducible for most builders and children. This book is different. It focuses on parts and portions of buildings which can be incorporated into anyone's designs. It not only inspires builders to think outside the box, but gives an excellent and creative foundation for them to launch from. Thank you Alice for sharing your wonderful ideas and talent with the world! This is not only an excellent idea for a book, but an exceptional execution of that idea. I was an avid lego builder as a child, and now I'm an internationally published eco-architect designing affordable eco-friendly homes around the world. I think it's so neat that children can be inspired to think creatively, build their own inventions, dream big, work with their hands, etc. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Lego Architecture Ideas Book: 1001 Ideas for Brickwork, Siding, Windows, Columns, Roofing, and Much, Much More - The LEGO Architect - The Lego Castle Book: Build Your Own Mini Medieval World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/94822595-the-lego-architecture-idea-book-1001-ideas-for-brickwork-siding](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/94822595-the-lego-architecture-idea-book-1001-ideas-for-brickwork-siding) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
