Description

The variant of the Architecture set

The Sears Tower, now usually called the Willis Tower, appears twice in the catalogue: as Architecture set 21000 with 69 pieces and as the Brickstructures version 19710 with 68 pieces. Both models show the same skyscraper, but this variant gets by with one piece fewer. If you own both or simply want to compare them, the individual pages give the exact parts list so you can trace which bricks differ between the two versions. The overall look of both towers is nearly identical.

Three colours are enough

Black, light bluish grey and white are enough to hint at the stepped, tubular shape of the tower. Dark surfaces stand in for the glass facade, pale bricks for the base and details. With 18 different part types the list is short, and many bricks occur several times because the tower is built from uniform sections. That keeps the model tidy and gives it a calm, almost graphic look that sits comfortably in a collection with a matching colour scheme.

Made for display

No minifigures are included, so this is a display piece for a desk or shelf. With 68 pieces the build is quick, yet it still teaches how tall, narrow towers are made to stand firm. Next to the John Hancock Center, which also has a Brickstructures version in the catalogue, you get a little Chicago skyline. It takes up hardly any space and can be extended with further buildings whenever you like.

Parts list and your own stock

Every part with its colour and quantity is listed under this text. Black and grey plates help in many projects, so the list is worth a look for your own designs as well. With "What can I build?" you can check which further models your own bricks could produce. If you already own several Architecture sets you can mix their pieces and plan your own towers with different heights and steps.
