The LEGO Architecture Studio (21050) is a detailed set released in 2013, featuring 1210 pieces suitable for builders aged 16 and above. Complete set with all the pieces and instructions book.
It's very educational and learns you about architecture design with your own projects. The book is fantastic to read to give you ideas what to do! you can't build large projects with this box! You gotta buy more pieces to make them big which is a downside towards this. But the purpose of this is to build everything small scale versions to see if your happy with the design first then buy more Lego parts to build it bigger. You don't have to do this but it's recommended if your serious in to learning architect. If you wanted to show images of these designs with your drawings than it's good for interviews, training, internship, portfolio, work experience or just general learning at home. Lego does that it breaks the rules and you can create what you want by learning yourself. My drawings have come to life thanks to Lego giving me the opportunity. The best part of Lego when I was young was building what I wanted not following a booklet of instructions someone else's work. The propose of Lego as been reborn with this studio and this is very special indeed.
I got this for my youngest son's 7th birthday and he loves it as does his Dad and our eldest son who is 21. All three were sat in total silence (a rarity especially for 21 year old) around the kitchen table whilst building some brilliant structures. The silence was broken though when my 21 year old realised that the 7 year olds building looked much a lot better and more professional!
