Repair the World One (LEGO) Brick at a Time

Nov 23, 2009 03:45 PM

Jan Vorman has installed quick LEGO-fixes all over the world - from Italy to Germany to Israel to Holland.

Jan's "Dispatchwork" work creates a contemporary twist: colorful LEGO-street-art added to historical, aged stone and brick. Platform 21 (the same group that brought us the Rube Goldberg Breakfast Machine) liked the idea so much, they and Jan "dispatched" teams of people to repair city walls with Jan's method. Follow dispatchwork's movements here.

The results are pretty wonderful:

Colorful building blocks stacked on a wall corner.

Colorful mosaic art embedded in a stone wall.

Fragment of colorful paper against a textured gray wall.

Colorful street art on a textured brick wall.

Colorful LEGO bricks arranged on a stone wall.

Coastal rock formation with vegetation and colorful markings.

Children exploring nature on a sidewalk.
