London
Originally founded by the Romans over 2,000 years ago,
London has grown to become the cultural and economic
capital of Britain and one of the world’s truly global cities.
Famous for its finance, fashion and arts industries, London
is the world’s most visited city and also one of its most
culturally diverse; more than 300 languages are spoken by
its population of over 8.5 million people.
Standing on the River Thames, London’s skyline reflects
both the city’s diverse and colorful past and its continued
ambition to embrace bold, modern architectural statements.
[ “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life;
for there is in London all that life can afford.” ]
Samuel Johnson

From the very start, the aim of the National Gallery was
to ensure that the widest public possible could enjoy
its collection. When Parliament agreed to pay for the
construction of a new gallery in 1831, there were lengthy
discussions about where the building should be located.
Trafalgar Square was eventually chosen, as it was considered
to be at the very center of the city and therefore accessible
by all classes of London society. Construction began in 1832
and the new gallery was finally completed in 1838.
The building has been enlarged and altered many times as
the National Gallery’s collection grew and today holds over
2,300 works of art. Over six million people visit the Gallery
every year to enjoy works by Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent Van
Gogh and J.M.W. Turner.

Nelson’s Column
Big Ben
The 169 ft. (51.6 m) column stands in front of the National
Gallery in Trafalgar Square and was erected between 1840
and 1843 to commemorate the British naval hero Admiral
Horatio Nelson, who died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
The pedestal upon which the column stands is decorated
with four bronze reliefs; each one is 18 ft. (5.5 m) square and
cast from captured French guns.
Big Ben (the Great Bell), officially known as the Elizabeth
Tower (formerly known as the Clock Tower and renamed in
2012 in honor of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee), has
stood at the northeastern corner of the Palace of Westminster
for over 150 years. The 316 ft. (96.3 m) neo-gothic styled tower
is one of the most recognized and photographed landmarks
in London today and an integral part of the city’s skyline.
The tower’s clock mechanism is wound by hand three
times a week and is still as accurate today as when it was
constructed over 150 years ago.

Opened in 2000 to mark the new millennium, the London
Eye is still the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel.
With a height of 443 ft. (135 m), this remarkable feat of design
and engineering has become the UK’s most popular paid
attraction, with 3.75 million visitors every year. On a clear day
it is possible to see up to 25 miles (40.2 km) in the distance
from the top of the wheel.
Originally intended as a temporary structure, the London Eye
is now a permanent fixture of the London skyline and an
iconic symbol of modern London.

It took eight years and 11,000 tons of steel to construct the
213 ft. (65 m) tall Tower Bridge, and when it opened in June
1894 it was regarded as the most sophisticated bridge of its
type in the world. The framework was clad in Cornish granite
and Portland stone to protect the underlying steelwork, and
to give the Bridge a more pleasing appearance. Built with
giant moveable roadways that lift up for passing ships, it is
still considered an engineering marvel and arguably remains
the most recognized bridge in the world.

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. It matched the spirit
of the age where modern architects were redefining how
houses look and people were taking an active interest in
the design of their new homes. These sets were designed to
be different from the normal, brightly colored LEGO boxes;
they also included a book on architecture as a source of
inspiration.
Decades later, architect and LEGO fan Adam Reed Tucker,
revived the idea of expressing architecture using LEGO
bricks and in partnership with the LEGO Group, launched
the LEGO Architecture line that we know today.
His first models, and the original sets in the current
LEGO Architecture series, were interpretations of famous
skyscrapers from his hometown of Chicago. Since then
LEGO Architecture has developed and evolved, first with
well-known buildings from other cities in the United States,
and now with iconic structures from Europe, the Middle East
and Asia.
The introduction of our LEGO Architecture Studio set echoes
the ambitions of the earlier LEGO ‘Scale Model’ line and
widens the potential of the LEGO Architecture series. Now
you can enjoy building and learning about specific landmark
buildings, or create exciting architectural models from your
own fantasy. An inspiring 270-page book, featuring a number
of renowned architects from around the world, guides you
through the principles of architecture and encourages you
in your own creative building.
