I'm working on an architecture lecture and I'm realizing that it would be a lot easier if I could demo with some blocks.
Does anyone (local I suppose) have some blocks I could borrow in a couple weeks?
Nothing complicated just a few rectangular ones for post-and-lintel, and then 4-6 of the half-arch ones so I can talk about arch construction and the necessity of flying buttresses (pointed arches would also be cool for Gothic, but are those parts of normal block sets?)
Actually I'm writing on the Hagia Sophia so if you have a Hagia Sophia block set.... Kidding, but that would be really damn cool.
eta well of course I started looking for a Hagia Sophia block set (didn't find one). But then I thought it might be cool to show an image of the Hagia Sophia in legos. How can there not be a picture of this? Certainly someone must have built it in legos??? And if you built the Hagia Sophia in lego wouldn't you post it on the internet? That (and porn) is what the internet is for!!!
Even this dude who did an awesome version of the Dome of the Rock hasn't done the Hagia Sophia. What gives? No love for Istanbul? (You should totally check out the other stuff that guy has made, like the Taj Mahal with the reflecting pool).
