Which project is known for looking like interlocking toy bricks?

• A. Temple Street Parking Garage (New Haven)
• B. Lego Parking House, Billund
• C. Parc des Célestins, Lyon
• D. Robie House

Answer: (B)

Think about how certain buildings read as a stack of identical blocks that fit together. The Lego Parking House in Billund does exactly that: its design uses modular, block‑like volumes that resemble interlocking bricks, a nod to LEGO’s product and Billund’s role as LEGO’s home. The result is a structure whose massing and rhythm evoke toy-brick assembly, giving it a playful, recognizable identity. The other projects have distinct personalities but not this toy-brick feel. The Temple Street Parking Garage is a bold, brutalist concrete form with a dense, grid-like exterior; Parc des Célestins is defined by historic landscape and classical urban design; Robie House exemplifies Wright’s Prairie style with long horizontals and open interiors rather than interlocking blocks.
