Architecture, Engineering and Construction Viewed as the predominate symbol of Seattle’s skyline, the Seattle Space Needle was originally built to be the centerpiece of the futuristic 1962 World’s Fair. Originally sketched by Edward E. Carlson, the futuristic concept has given the Seattle Space Needle its sleek “frozen in time” flying saucer appearance. The theme of the 1962 World’s Fair was unmistakably about futurism and American optimism, and was appropriately named, “The Century 21 Exposition.

A Word from the Artist 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 first 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® 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.
LEGO© Architecture, bringing two worlds together The LEGO Group and Adam Reed Tucker are excited to bring you this new line of distinctive landmark building sets. Our hope is that this will inspire minds of all ages whether you’re young and eager to learn or young at heart and simply intrigued by these modern day marvels. The idea behind LEGO® Architecture is to celebrate the past, present and future of architecture through the LEGO Brick.
