- After you finish reading The LEGO Architect, check out this free downloadable bonus content.
I’ve delivered the keynote presentation at a LEGO convention, signed books and given a talk at several bookstores, and at events for LEGO enthusiasts. This includes BrickCon (Seattle), BrickWorld (Chicago), Bricks Cascade (Portland), and BrickCan (Vancouver). My talks about LEGO and Architecture range from 30 minutes to over an hour.

I just bought the book in Italian and it’s really fabulous
Stefano,
Grazie!
It is a great pleasure to see my book translated into new languages! I’m especially excited to see the Italian edition—your country has such a rich tradition of beautiful architecture (and delicious food).
My copy of the Italian edition arrived and I look forward to sharing photos of it soon on my facebook and instagram pages.
