Where it came from
Released in 2015 as part of the Lego Architecture series, set 21023 captures the iconic triangular form of New York City’s Flatiron Building. Designed by architect Daniel Burnham and completed in 1902, the original structure remains a landmark of the early skyscraper era. The Lego model was developed to translate this neoclassical limestone and terra-cotta aesthetic into the brand's micro-scale modular format, emphasizing the building’s distinct wedge-shaped prow and its historical significance in American urban development.
The design process for this set focused on recreating the building’s complex geometry, specifically the narrow 25-degree angle where Broadway and Fifth Avenue converge. Adam Reed Tucker, a long-time partner of the Architecture line, is often associated with the design language of these sets, which aim to distill structural complexity into a desk-sized representation. Upon its release, it was well received by adult collectors for its accurate proportions and its ability to convey the elegance of the original structure despite the limitations of its small scale.
