LEGO Architecture set 21044, Paris, represents a skyline of the French capital within the Architecture theme, specifically the Skylines subtheme.
Paris is part of the LEGO Architecture range devoted to built interpretations of cities and architectural subjects. Rather than focusing on a single structure, the set presents a compact urban skyline, using simplified forms to suggest the character of Paris.
The build is centred on a display base and stylised architectural volumes, following the restrained design language associated with LEGO Architecture.
This set is suited to display, collecting and an interest in urban architecture. It is less focused on role play, since it does not include figures or character driven features. Within an Architecture collection, it serves as the Paris skyline entry and can be compared with other city based models from the same subtheme.
