1. You can improvise in building stuff. There's no defined beginning, middle and end as with other Lego kits.
2. I'm not a kid, so the all white bricks appeal to me. Clean, simple.
3. It's all about critical thinking. I see this as appealing to ages teen and above. It really appeals to adults like me.
4. There are a lot of small pieces that, over time, I've learned to use. That's part of the challenge. Start with the basic bigger pieces and get more emboldened over time! Trust me, there's enough to toy around with. Trial and error, you might say.
5. The book that comes with it is nice/pretty, kinda self-serving. BUT for broader concepts and ideas I recommend The Lego Architect by Tom Alphin. Also, if you live in a big city like me (Chicago) there are plenty of inspirations.
6. Yep, it could use a big base plate. I bought a set of base plates (non-Lego) but they were a tad flimsy/non-secure to construct a base, so I've been sticking with the plates provided. Just connect and reinforce 4-5 or more.
7. Finally as you can see from my pictures, it's all about trial-and-error and improvising. And, again, critical thinking and having fun with the process.
I think one day I might buy a third kit (when the price and money is right) as some things I have built I love and don't want to tear them apart and start over (although I have built a few that didn't quite feel "right" and I deconstructed those).
Bottomline: I love Lego Architecture Studio. This would also make a great/unique gift for any older teen or adult of ANY AGE.

I also want take a moment to comment on using Amazon.com to buy the kit for a Canadian destination. It was cheaper to buy Studio even with current exchange rate via .com rather than .ca. I paid a bit extra for shipping with tracking. The package ended up arriving 5 days earlier than expected delivery date. No wonder Jeff is so wealthy, Amazon does a great job getting these type of items to the customers on a daily basis which keeps me continuing to purchase from Amazon CA or US.
I don't think you have to be an architect to enjoy this set, just enjoy working/building with your hands.
These are mostly white pieces and also a bunch of clear pieces.
There are many tiny parts. Lots of different sizes.
Included is a booklet of Architecture to give you inspiration on what you could build.
The set does not come with a base plate to build on, so you might plan on getting one of those if you don't have one.
The box is sturdy and there are a few dividers, but I plan to get a plastic container to store/sort the pieces more effectively.
I might also get one of those classic Lego pieces pack to add color or patterns in certain areas of what I build.
You can get if you want a big selection of white and clear pieces to supplement your current set or if you want to have this particular set.
I grew up playing lego, but I haven't touched any lego bricks for ~20 years. So upon opening of this set, all my childhood lego memories flushed back at me. Needless to say, I dive into this set immediately, and truly enjoyed every minute with it, like I did when I was a kid. I'll definitely pass this set to my kids in the future, and create more beautiful family memories (with lego in it)!
I haven't got the time to go through the book though, but it definitely looks like a architecture book, so maybe not for a kid I would say. But anyway, I think anyone who love lego would love this set, with or without any architecture background.
I absolutely recommend this set! In fact, I would gave it 10 stars if I could!
The set is exactly as it is advertised and as other reviewers have said. It is for designing and not for fun or entertainment. Keep that in mind and if it fits your needs then you will enjoy it. Please don't purchase this set for your grandchildren or anyone not interested in architecture or designing.
I received this quickly and it arrived in perfect condition. Now if you excuse me I have my future home to build.
