Hello LEGO fans,
Last weekend, members from a Singapore Lego Fan Group, S0937FG, came
together to
recreate 2 quarants of the Roman Colosseum out of LEGO bricks. The
installation was done on-site in the Asian Civilisation
Museum(ACM),Singapore.The structure is approximately 1.8m long and 1.5m high
and took 2 days to complete.

That is nice! Were there any special techniques used to build the curves? It
does look like regular square grid - and large enough to be smooth.

Hi Erik,
I’m not too sure about that because I was too busy building =P, but I managed to
get an answer from our designer who happens to be a trained architect =)
“There were no special techniques required, but I first counted and measure the
size of the intended building, then worked out a scale.. from there, the
architectural plans were then shrunk to proportion an in this case was either
1:10, or 1:20... i cannot exactly remebered...
Next was to draw grid lines of 1 stud intervals over the scaled plans, then
basic lego bricks are pieced to achieve the lare curve....this method is also
used for the colonades and grand stand seats....” -Eugene Tan(Designer,The LEGO
Colosseum Project)
Hope it answers your questions.
