Brickitecture

From Lincoln Logs to LEGO, building toys have long fueled our architectural imagination. This exhibition, curated by architect Blane Ladymon, AIA, and on loan from Dallas' Architecture and Design Foundation, celebrates the beloved toy brick through micro-scale replicas of famous architectural icons and works of fantasy.

Featuring over 150 sets from the curator's collection, including LEGO Architecture series and Atom Bricks sets, many are enhanced with LED lighting to bring them to life. Models range from 35-piece builds to the 10,055-piece La Sagrada Familia, offering unique perspectives on structures across time and geography. Visitors can discover both new and recognizable buildings, spotting surprising similarities between diverse structures.
