as an architectural artist my desire is to capture the essence
of a particular architectural landmark in its pure sculptural
form. I fi rst and foremost do not view my models as literal
replicas, but rather my own artistic interpretations through the
use of LeGO
®
bricks as a medium. The LeGO brick is not
initially thought of as a material typically used in creating art or
used as an artist’s medium. However, I quickly discovered the
LeGO brick was lending itself as naturally to my applications
as paint to a painter or metal to a blacksmith. as I explore
how to capture these buildings with the basic shapes of the
bricks and plates, I fi nd the possibilities and challenges they
off er almost magical.
Sydney Opera House
The powerful form this iconic structure possesses creates
unique and diffi cult challenges. With this being the 13th
LeGO architecture model I have designed in the series one
would think that most every type of design situation would
have been uncovered. Obviously not so since this structure’s
fl uid form is truly one-of-a-kind. In previous models I was
equally concerned with the form, proportions, scale, color,
texture, site transitions and overall composition. However,
with this challenge I was solely concerned with those peaks,
everything else could be a bit off here and there, but get
those peaks wrong and the entire essence of the poetic form
is compromised. Believe it or not the idea for capturing the
form came to me while building a model of Buzz Lightyear™.
His boots used these specialized curved elements which
just happened to be white, requiring even less imagination
to see these replicating those very identifi able peaks. a few
hinges later, some creative staggering here & there and soon
the model just built itself. This is a valuable example of how
sometimes relying less on your pure imagination and utilizing
something to generate inspiration
instead can be just as successful.
