Posted January 17, 201015 yr The stark contrast of monochromatic, crumbling stone buildings and small, colorful plastic toy blocks is especially jarring in Berlin, where evidence of the horrors of World War II is still visible in cracks and bullet holes. But that’s what makes this setting so poignant for German artist Jan Vormann, who patches damage to old buildings around the world with Legos. I tried to pick the best photos for this, but, you can find more here. There's also more about what Jan does.
January 17, 201015 yr That was posted by me a couple of months ago. Well Andrew is posting it again. I personally wouldn't have seen it if he hadn't, and I think it's pretty cool and makes a statement. Thanks for sharing!
January 18, 201015 yr That looks really cool I would love to see it happened down in New Zealand We lack shot up buildings .
January 18, 201015 yr We lack shot up buildings . Well use old crumbling building I am sure if you look you can find one.
January 18, 201015 yr haha, that's awesome, I can only hope no one steals those LEGO's. No worries, they're not all Lego bricks. In this shot the top ones are clearly Lego, but look at the studs in the bottom picture. The studs are entirely too big to be Lego. In the shot with the the cutie, The lower 3 patches seem to be Lego, but the upper ones have those funky studs again.
January 20, 201015 yr They're Duplo I think. The kiddie version of Lego. Good finds Definitely not DUPLO - the proportions are wrong but in a situation such as this, any brand of brick is cool with me ...unless it's MegaB
January 20, 201015 yr I've seen some of these in Amsterdam quite some time ago. I actually really like the idea of covering up the scars of war with the festively coloured toy blocks.
January 21, 201015 yr The large-studded bricks are indeed Mega Bloks. MB sells their Ages 1-5 product under the name Maxi System.
