21032 Sydney Australia
Sydney As Australia's largest and most famous city, Sydney encompasses both striking modern architecture and many of the country’s most important historical landmarks. Founded as a colony in 1788, the city now stretches around the world’s largest natural harbor, reaching towards the stunning Blue Mountains in the west. One third of the city’s growing population of 4.
Sydney Opera House The Sydney Opera House is a masterpiece of modern architecture, and one of the most celebrated buildings of the 20th century. Set against the stunning backdrop of Sydney Harbor, its shells appear like billowing sails filled by the sea winds. Since its opening in 1973, the Opera House has become one of the world’s busiest performing arts centers, welcoming over 8 million visitors a year and staging almost 2,000 performances annually.
Sydney Harbour Bridge The Sydney Harbour Bridge, also affectionately known as the ‘Coathanger’, was opened on March 19th, 1932, after six years of construction. This famous Sydney symbol is constructed in steel and contains six million hand-driven rivets. The top of 6 the arch is 439 ft. (134 m) above sea level. The 160 ft. (49 m) wide deck makes Sydney Harbour Bridge the widest longspan bridge in the world.
Sydney Tower The Sydney Tower has been an integral part of the Sydney skyline for over 30 years. The 1,014 ft. (309 m) tall tower is the tallest structure in Sydney and its 420 windows allow the perfect view of the city. If you spent the whole day in the tower’s observation deck, you would be the first person to see the sun rise over Sydney and the last to see it set.
Deutsche Bank Place Although a recent addition to the Sydney skyline, the Deutsche Bank Place is nevertheless one of the city’s most distinctive structures. Completed in 2005, its unusual design was guided by a narrow building site and the need to ensure sufficient sunlight for the surrounding public spaces. Constructed in concrete, glass and steel, the 790 ft. (240 m) building was designed by the internationally renowned architects Foster + Partners.

LEGO® Architecture–then and now There has always been a natural connection between the LEGO® brick and the world of architecture. Fans who build with LEGO elements instinctively develop an interest in the form and function of the structures they create. At the same time, many architects have discovered that LEGO bricks are the perfect way of physically expressing their creative ideas. This connection was confirmed in the early 1960s with the launch of the LEGO ‘Scale Model’ line.
