Join Aaron Williams as he walks you through the process he took to build a Lego model of the Pabst Mansion. What began as a way to outlast COVID-19 turned into an opportunity to re-engage with a childhood toy while celebrating local architecture. The builds, initially monochromatic and minimalist, aim to slow you down, spark curiosity, and enhance the everyday experience.
Focused on simplicity and recognition, the work highlights the subtleties of shade, shadow, and texture in miniature, inviting viewers to connect it back to real-world structures.
