Today, I want to discuss three sets that I’ve completed from the LEGO Architecture series. I recently completed the last one, San Francisco, and looking at the three of them together reminded me of all the memories of putting together the other two in the past few years.

So what did I think of them?

New York City

The New York set was my first one. I’ve been to New York a few times and it is one of the popular sets in this series. It is so incredibly fascinating and satisfying to create something you’ve seen in real life on a miniature scale. You get to have that memory right inside your room.

In a way, this is one of the appeals of art. Whether it’s a painting, a photograph, or some other medium, there’s something so beautiful about having that thing that you saw that can’t physically be here and yet here is a representation of it.
