I LEGO N.Y.

In a recent post to his New York Times blog Abstract City, Christoph Niemann posted a series of pictures he'd taken at his home in Germany of New York City landmarks big and small that he'd recreated out of LEGO. Though it may seem innocuous, this little project speaks volumes about how fluent New Yorkers are with the visual iconography and language of architecture and urbanism (and LEGO). The whole series is here.
