NYC goes Lego

Gothamist has a story today on something that combines two of my loves: NYC and Lego. I spent probably a grand total of at least a few years (cumulatively, I mean) during my childhood occupied by my boxes of Legos and now, the Storefront for Art and Architecture has an exhibit by Copenhagen-based architecture group BIG featuring the city of New York created out of Legos. While that’s pretty damn cool, it has been done before. BIG’s version, however, takes it a step further, incorporating some realistic details including some street art by NY faves like Banksy and realistic NY brands such as NYSC and Deal and DeLuca.

The exhibit is already up and running and can be viewed at The Storefront for Art and Architecture at 97 Kenmare St. You can bet your bottom buck I’ll be there before the exhibit closes on November 24th.
