Chris Malloy posted this brilliant Greek temple. I really have very little to say other than it’s gorgeous and encompasses so much of the feel of the time period and architecture in such a small build.

The Daniel Gran Wax Museum of Collectible Minifigures
Well, this is certainly one way to display your Collectible Minifigs. Daniel Gran (shutinc) has built a gorgeous edifice to house his collection.
Daniel apparently plans to run wiring throughout the building to light it up (note the blue lamp up on the roof). Check out the photoset on Flickr to see the interior.
Castle of the underworld
Ivan Angeli from Serbia presents a bloodcurdling red castle in an underground city from the Dungeons and Dragons universe. The extreme proportions of the architecture is fitting of the fantasy genre. Check out the gallery on Brickshelf for more photos including construction and detail shots.
Squiddie 16+
Dave Shaddix lets the viewer control the action with Peace is Bad for Business. But we all know that squiddie controls the action.
You too can build your dream home!
It might not be my dream home, but I can appreciate the influences and sleek lines in Zack (NewRight)’s dream home. All it needs, according to him, are the pretty dolls.
Considering it looks like it should be perched in the hills of southern California, I’d have to say his assessment probably isn’t far off the mark.
Interior shots can be found on Brickshelf.
Massive LEGO Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi built from thousands of LEGO bricks
The Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi looks impressive and a fine work of architecture that would be based on something a real landmark, but little would you guess that Tony Sava‘s amazing LEGO cathedral is actually fictional, based on St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City and Chartres Cathedral in France.
If one is not impressed enough, what you see on the outside walls simply scratches the surface of what’s inside. Tony designed and built a nave to fit a full congregation for a proper wedding ceremony or weekly mass.
Built intricately with stained-glass windows that are perfect for ambient lighting to flow through, it embraces the very same atmosphere of stepping into an embodiment of a holy sanctuary.
The cathedral is full of detailing that will make your eyes wander in awe, such as a piped organ to fill the halls with heavenly music.
A red-carpeted aisle and a pulpit and accessories like the floor candle holders add to the detailing.
Building with such details is not without its toil. From concept to completion took about 5 months with serious architectural and blueprint planning with layouts and dimensions.
The finished work and time spent is definitely an architectural piece to appreciate and be in awe of.
