Danish architects Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) will show a LEGO model of their LEGO Towers project for an upcoming exhibition at Storefront for Architecture and Design in New York.
The 1:50 scale model uses 250,000 bricks and took five weeks to build.
A time-lapse movie showing the construction of the model is on YouTube.
The exhibition, called BIG City, presents five proposals for high-density living at the gallery, and opens on 2 October.
LEGO Towers is a proposal for a residential, retail and hotel development in Copenhagen. More info on BIG's website.

Can one of you define words like “Masterpiece!!” or “Rem will be definitely envying that!!!” i dont understand what is so amazing on such stupid idea of 3d pixel…thx
its masterpiece because its a 50-50 balance of inside/outside. can you imagine being in here? it seems awesome for urban space as well.
i am enjoying the way all the legos being clicked and steeped up,it’s not smooth (cos its a squarish lego block) but still projecting and idea of a working contour builtform.
