Think differently about LEGO.
Build things that make a difference.
A project that uses LEGO to raise awareness and, in turn, save buildings that are at-risk anywhere in the world.
Project 02
Historic NYC Warehouse Building
Background
This was my second M.O.C. ("My Own Creation") build, which means I it was the second build that I did with LEGO pieces, but without LEGO directives. I created this piece from start to finish, on my own.
Subject Matter
The build features Avenues The World School, the High School which I currently attend.
Build Process
This was a challenging project structurally because of its scale and ensuring there was ample support for all the elements. For comparison, this project had 25,000 pieces (and measures ~4ft x 2ft long) while my first had only 6,800.

About the Builder
Thano has spent years developing his interest in constructing buildings and cities with Lego and has seen, first-hand, how the process enables these builds to live on forever. Through The Lost Architecture Project, he hopes to shine a light on buildings that are particularly at-risk of being destroyed - whether because of a natural disaster or a man-made one.
Project 03
Tinmel Mosque
The Tinmel Mosque is considered an important example of Almohad architecture. The mosque was added to the Tentative List of potential UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1995.
Project 02
Historic NYC Warehouse Building
This build features Avenues The World School (the High School which I currently attend), a building that used to be home to one of the world's first supermarket warehouses, R.C. Williams.

This build features a modern home built fairly recently, in 2019.
