Viewed as the predominate symbol of Seattle’s skyline,
the Seattle Space Needle was originally built to be
the centerpiece of the futuristic 1962 World’s Fair.
Originally sketched by Edward E. Carlson, the futuristic
concept has given the Seattle Space Needle its sleek
frozen in time” ying saucer appearance.
The theme of the 1962 World’s Fair was unmistakably
about futurism and American optimism, and was
appropriately named, “The Century 21 Exposition.” The
Needle was specically designed to embrace the
Race into Space” or now more commonly referred to
as the Space Age.” In keeping with the 21st Century
theme, even the nal coats of paint were dubbed
Astronaut White for the supporting legs, Orbital Olive
for the core, Re-entry Red for the halo and Galaxy
Gold for the sunburst and pagoda roof. A separate
unique elevated monorail transport was an added
feature attraction to further enhance its futuristic alien
spaceship counterpart, the Seattle Space Needle.
Due to the 12 month condensed construction schedule,
the Seattle Space Needle’s legs and observation pod
were prefabricated in several sections and then
quickly erected and secured in place. To offset the
top heavy” loading, the Space Needle’s center of
gravity was lowered all the way down to ground level
by means of anchoring the three legs to an oversized
solid concrete slab 30 feet thick, thus matching the
entire weight of the exposed structure above.

Points of Interest
Built to withstand winds of up to 200 mph, the Seattle
Space Needle clearly demonstrates the inherent
strength of the unique tripod design. SkyCity, the
rotating restaurant located 500 feet above the
ground, cleverly rotates 360 degrees every 47
minutes using only a one horsepower motor, which
is accomplished thanks to skillful and precise
craftsmanship.

A Word from the Artist
As an Architectural Artist my desire is to capture the
essence of a particular landmark into its pure sculptural
form, especially at this small scale. I rst and foremost
do not view my models as literal replicas, but rather my
own artistic interpretations, harnessing the essence of
these landmark’s through the use of LEGO
®
bricks as
a medium. The LEGO brick is not initially thought of as
a material typically used in creating art or used as an
artist’s medium. I quickly discovered the LEGO brick
was lending itself as naturally to my applications as
paint to a painter or metal to a blacksmith. As I explore
how to capture these buildings with the basic shapes
of the bricks, I nd the possibilities and challenges
they offer almost magical.

Architecture, bringing two worlds together
The LEGO Group and Adam Reed Tucker are excited to
bring you this new line of distinctive landmark building
sets. Our hope is that this will inspire minds of all ages
whether you’re young and eager to learn or young at
heart and simply intrigued by these modern day marvels.
The idea behind LEGO
®
Architecture is to celebrate the
past, present and future of architecture through the
LEGO Brick. Through products and events we wish
to promote an awareness of the fascinating worlds of
Architecture, Engineering and Construction. Initially, we
featured a pair of Chicago’s most famous landmarks:
The Sears Tower and The John Hancock Center. We
now proudly offer you landmarks that represent both
the East & West coasts, The Empire State Building
and The Seattle Space Needle. Eventually, we wish to
offer other famous landmarks throughout the world
celebrating inuential architects and movements that
have shaped the environment around us. We hope to
inspire future architects around the world with the brick
as a medium. We hope you enjoyed this experience.
