Repair your city… with Lego!

13Jul09

Artist Jan Vormann was tired of all the holes in walls, and decided to do something about it. And while at it he decided to add some colors to it: He decided to fill the holes, with Lego!

Vormann found Lego to be the perfect solution for fixing cracks, holes and crumbling corners. He fills them with the plastic bricks, calling the practice Dispatchwork. Vormann had already left a colorful trail of repairs in Berlin; Bocchignano, Italy; and Tel Aviv, when Platform21 decided to invite him to patch up some walls in our city of Amsterdam during a Dispatchwork workshop in collaboration with Amsterdam’s Centre for Architecture Arcam.

What a good idea! Check out the results below.
