In 2013, Barnes & Noble hosted its first LEGO Architecture Studio event at more than 400 stores. Due to its success, the event is back and bigger than ever this year at all Barnes & Noble stores nationwide, and LEGO enthusiasts across the country will have the opportunity to join their local community as they explore the fascinating parameters and planning involved in design and architecture.
