1.8 million LEGO Used to Create Map of Japan
From Spoon-Tamago website, by Johnny on August 9, 2012
I know what you’re thinking: ugh, another LEGO project using a gazillion LEGO.
Indeed, the Internet seems to be teeming with
hey-look-at-what-I-did-with-LEGO-type projects, but this one seemed noteworthy.
In celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic building blocks being
introduced into Japan, LEGO’s Japanese subsidiary sponsored a cross-country
workshop in which over 5000 people in 6 different regions collaborated to create
a gigantic map of Japan.The pieces that were assembled at each site then
traveled to Tokyo, where they were put on display for one massive LEGO map.
Dubbed “Build Up Japan,” the event – rather than
recreating existing landmarks – encouraged kids to picture what they want Japan
to look like, and to create imaginary structures. The future of Japan was, quite
literally, in their hands. And the kids delivered.
The festivities took place during March and April of this year.
