![]() So, for about 10 years of my childhood, probably not much different than other young boys around that time. Probably stopped playing with them when I was 13. ![]() Oh definitely, I probably got my first box when I was 3 years old, 4 years old. I actually got to meet some Lego executives and I shared some of my vision and my passion for what I was attempting to do with their product, and essentially they invited me with open arms into a relationship with the Lego group as someone who is using the brick in a positive and entrepreneurial way.Īs a child did you have the same passion of making your own creations.? I brought some of my buildings there-the initial ideas behind Lego Architecture. I just needed to get familiar with them to find out if they would work with my idea.įrom there I started these large buildings and I was invited to a Lego event on the East Coast in 2006. I didn’t know what elements, didn’t know what colors Lego had been making since I had stopped playing with them probably back in 1981. ![]() I went out one day and I went to Toys R’ Us and I filled up several shopping carts with Lego sets to get reacquainted with the brick. ![]() I thought “Well, the brick as a medium could be kind of whimsical to offset the intimidating nature of architecture.” It’s something that’s not typically thought of outside of its usefulness as a toy. And I really didn’t know how to go about it. So, I thought it would be kind of neat to educate people on the engineering and the design that goes into these buildings. They weren’t really visiting the Empire State Building, the Sears Tower, because of what happened to the World Trade Center. One day I had this idea of doing something a little different, being inspired by the events of 9/11 and realizing that a lot of people from the general public were intimidated by vertical architecture-skyscrapers. In a nutshell, I worked for a number of architecture firms, and then I had my own practice. ![]() How did you get from there to Lego Certified Professional? You got your degree in architecture from Kansas State University in 1996. His models, including the World Trade Center, the Gateway Arch, Fallingwater and others, are on display in the National Building Museum until September 5, 2011, in the exhibit, “LEGO Architecture: Towering Ambition” in Washington, D.C. The lighting display to launch Ten Degrees is on each night from 7pm to midnight until May 7.Former Chicago-based professional architect Adam Reed Tucker is one of 11 Lego-certified professionals in the world, designing scale models of famous buildings and structures out of Lego bricks. “Homes manufactured offsite are also significantly more energy efficient, which benefits residents, the planet and us a long-term owner and manager of rental housing.” “We used modern methods of construction which means Ten Degrees was built in half the time of traditional construction, and without as much disruption to the surrounding area. Todd Marler, senior director of multifamily operations for Greystar UK, said: “Ten Degrees will set new benchmarks for renting in London by offering high quality housing that perfectly blends work and leisure while providing the utmost comfort and convenience. Its research suggests that with home price-to-income rations reaching record highs across Europe, and particularly in London and Paris, the rental sector will increasingly become the only affordable option for many families. ![]()
