Generally, I build LEGO because I like to design buildings.  I am too lazy
to build in clay, plastic, or wood.  LEGO building is fast and you can build
and rebuild over and over again.

I like to build my own things (rather than sets) because I enjoy being
creative.

Much on LUGNET is about rating original models. Little is about building
techniques. What is the true nature of the lego building process?

Most people will agree with some basic rules such as:
Build for minifigs.

But other questions surely deserve a debat:

Build for a model? Then explain where is the fun.
or...
Build for a toy? Then explain where is the realism.

Build massive? Then explain how you avoid repetition.
or...
Build with brick economy? Then explain how you enlarge size.

Build from shape to bricks? Then explain how you decompose the shape.
or...
Build from bricks to shape? Then explain how you compose the shape.

Can whole or part of the building process be demystified? Then formalize
what you can.
or...
Or can it only be examplified? Then give a constructopedia.
or...
Lego is not a building process, but a funny activity. Then explain the
source of all these stupid questions.

I wonder whether themes are the real splitting lines among lego fans.
I think the above questions are much more essential.
I hope they could receive multiple and personnal answers.
