Cyberpunk isn’t a genre one typically associates with subtlety, but for his latest LEGO creation, Quian Yj achieves just that balance. At first glance, this multi-story inn looks like a building you might see today, or any time during the Qing Dynasty. But look a little closer and you’ll notice that the signs are neon and the roof tiles are transparent, perhaps a solar layer to power this waystation of the future. Honestly it makes a lot of sense that old buildings would be retrofitted for a cyber future rather than razed and replaced with 80s industrial vibes. I appreciate the mix of window styles (including the stained-glass from the Brick Bank) suggesting a building that has undergone regular repairs and updates over a century or more. Even with a sci-fi work like this, Quian Yj’s architectural builds feel so cozy and lived-in. I wonder if the inn has any vacancies?
