This Flown Building Architecture set was constructed with approximately 137 Lego pieces.

Lego Flown Building (measure):
height= 4.7inches/ 119.38mm
length= 3.0inches/ 76.2mm
wide=3.0inches/ 76.2mm

Architect: Atelier Hitoshi Abe

Location: Miyagino-Ku, Sendai, Japan

Year Built: 2003-2006/ 2007-2008

A typical tenant building has a tree-like organization in which each floor is independently accessed by elevator from the entrance on the first floor.

With regard to this project, in addition to the normal circulation, we proposed using voids to connect the spaces of each floor in a spiral arrangement, incorporating a loop in the unidirectional ordered structure.

 The access routes to each space are thereby multiplied; other possibilities for grouping the spaces arise, enabling integrated usages or tenants that cover several floors.

Additionally, the four variations in floor height and the flexibly organized mechanical services allow a variety of spatial choices.

Design Philosophy of Hitoshi Abe and Atelier Hitoshi Abe

Architecture is the unification of the diverse phenomena that constitute the state of a place, which is contingently manifested as boundary surfaces. Perhaps this is exactly like a soap bubble. Although a soap bubble defines an inside and an outside, its form is simultaneously dependent on the balance between these two environments. A soap bubble is an extremely delicate object, and so its form will reflect fluctuations in the relationships between adjacent conditions. Similarly, the architecture comprises delicate boundaries that may accommodate the fluidity of various contemporary phenomena. In this way, architecture not only distinguishes between adjacent conditions but also acts as a mobile interface, a medium that connects these adjoining phenomena.

H.A Studio (H.A 創作室), (as known as V.Boi Design Studio) is a small studio where specializes in the design and development of architectural models and as well as the re-design of famous icon landmark buildings, houses, and skylines in the world with small scales by Lego bricks. I always love architecture and Lego. As a designer, I'd like to bring whole historical and cultural knowledge in architecture, and life into the Lego world for all ages in order to achieve the term "Play & Learn."
