Over the past three months www.architecturescotland.co.uk and Prospect Magazine have had five leading architectural firms beavering away on designs for a model LEGO villa.
Now you can view the fruits of their labour for sale at www.jumbleaid.com/legovillas in anticipation of the Scottish Design Awards.
Five of Scotland's top architects - Aedas, Gareth Hoskins Architects, gm+ad, Michael Gilmour Associates and RMJM - were invited to commune with their inner child to design and build a distinctive LEGO villa in a challenging exposition of design talent, all in aid of the National Autism Society Scotland.
All this primary coloured plastic finery has proved both constructive and entertaining as our famous LEGO five compete in a head-to-head battle for supremacy in their very own toy wars. No charity sale like this has ever been attempted before and the premise has already drummed up huge excitement within the architecture and design communities.
The results of the 2009 Scottish Design Awards and the Lego Challenge will be announced at a gala awards dinner on May 29 at the Crowne Plaza, Glasgow. To book tickets contact Kim Baran on 0141 559 6078 or [email protected] or log on to www.scottishdesignawards.com.
