Imagine for one moment that someone gave you in excess of a million lego bricks and four thousand lego building plates. Imagine also that you had around three week’s worth of spare time.
What would you build?
To my mind, the first thing that should spring to mind is a massive map of the world. You’ve got enough bricks so making a map around 12 by 5 meters should do the trick.

Oddly enough, that’s exactly what members of the public did on London’s Southbank during the London 2012 Olympic Games.

If you want to see it for yourself, head over to the terraces outside the Royal Festival Hall but you’ll have to hurry. The map will only be around until August 26th.
