Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene

This is just lovely. 1 and 2 World Trade Center - that's the Twin Towers to you - built from Lego.

Here at ka-os|theory, we love the Twin Towers, and we love Lego. How better to celebrate Mr. Yamasaki's beautiful skyscrapers than through the innocence of Lego?

Spencer R.'s acrylonitrile butadiene styrene creation consists of approximately 9000 Lego elements. Spencer's model includes all of the World Trade Center site, comprising the Twin Towers World Trade Center 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness

I Lego N.Y.

A FEW YEARS ago I spent a small fortune buying up Lego sets I'd owned in the 80s and 90s, and subsequently jettisoned in my stupid teens.

I then sold most of it on eBay when I realised I didn't have room for it all, and that I didn't really want to play with it like I had done when I was a kid.

Christoph Niemann has found a way to play with his Lego, and Do Art. Many more creations here.

The Lego Man

I have a confession. I was a Lego kid. I loved the stuff. But I'm not going to embarrass myself by revealing how old I was when I finally stopped messing about with it, except to say that I lost my virginity before I lost my Lego sets. Let's just leave it at that. Some years later, I spent a small fortune on eBay buying back those 1980s sets I'd once owned, and which my adolescent self foolishly disposed of. They're now housed behind glass, unplayed with, and untouched by human hands. Nathan Sawaya is a man who's taken his plastic passion a bit further; his New York studio is home to more than 1.5 million bricks, which he uses exclusively to build some pretty amazing sculpture. He can even recreate you - yes, YOU - as a full-size Lego replica. I think I'd like that. See more of the man and his art here.
