New York Gets a Lego Look

While you might love New York, have you ever Lego'd it? The NY Times has a great little pictorial piece from Christoph Niemann, who explains: "During the cold and dark Berlin winter days, I spend a lot of time with my boys in their room. And as I look at the toys scattered on the floor, my mind inevitably wanders back to New York." He's created everything from the Sunday paper to the loathed Verizon building! Back in 2007 the Storefront for Art and Architecture had a Lego urban housing designs exhibit.

"And as I look at the toys scattered on the floor, my mind inevitably wanders back to New York"

The Verizon building

The Verizon Building is the 'Best Worst Building in NY'. The Bank of America Tower is the Worst Worst Building in NY.

Bank of America isn't so bad. And like it or not, it is the second tallest building in New York and fourth tallest in the US nowadays. I think that counts for something.

What about that thing with the smoking hole and the numbers in Union Sq? That should win worst wotst building every year.
