Product Description
by Daniel Konstanski (Author)
From the first hollow bricks to the complex shapes and building techniques of today, this visually stunning book is a LEGO(R) history like no other--and the first official book for Adult Fans of LEGO bricks.
LEGO(R) bricks are design icons and marvels of engineering. Having remained virtually unchanged for over fifty years, the brick is still the center of the LEGO System in Play, in which each brick connects to every other brick, allowing the construction of almost anything you can imagine. LEGO minifigures may be the friendly smiling faces of the LEGO world, but bricks in all their different shapes and forms are its very foundation.
This book sets out to explore the brick's rich history in unparalleled detail and full color. Granted unprecedented access by the LEGO Group, author Daniel Konstanski reveals for the first time how and why new LEGO bricks are made, speaking to the people involved with each crucial step, from the so-called "rock stars," the set designers, through to the element designers, design masters, graphic designers, elements testers and approvers, plastics technicians, and many more.
This book is the one fans have always wanted: a truly behind the scenes look at the story of the beloved LEGO brick and the company which makes it, with a wealth of new visual material from the LEGO Archive in Billund.
