內容簡介
Brick City is a celebration of the world's favourite buildings and urban icons, recreated solely using LEGO bricks.
While to many, LEGO bricks are 'just a toy', to an ever-growing army of fans they provide a challenging and enjoyable modelling medium.
These fans, calling themselves 'AFOLs', or Adult Fans of LEGO, have taken it upon themselves to recreate local landmarks using just the bricks that you may find at a local store.
LEGO models created by adult fans, however, don't resemble those that many people created as a child. Created by masters of their medium, these fabulously detailed models may contain thousands of pieces - or perhaps just a handful. Either way, the talented artists have an intimate knowledge of every piece and colour available. Skilfully choosing the ideal piece to recreate a well-known landmark, they may create a model indistinguishable from the real thing, or evoke the spirit of a building in just a few small pieces.
In fact, landmarks and cityscapes - from the New York skyline to the Sagrada Familia, London's St Pancras and the amazing towers of Beijing and Hong Kong - have long been a source of inspiration for LEGO builders.
In this book, LEGO artist Warren Elsmore takes us on a world tour and explores more than 30 global cities and their iconic structures. Below are just some of many cities featured: San Francisco Las Vegas New York City Rio de Janeiro Lisbon Edinburgh London Barcelona Paris Venice Rome Stockholm Prague Moscow Cape Town Tokyo Sydney And many more... Each city is examined and recreated in LEGO form. Comprising amazing artwork, exploratory photographs and detailed breakdowns, Brick City looks at the essence of what makes an urban landscape recognizable.

樂高積木的發明者是奧勒·基奧剋,他1891年生於丹麥比隆附近的菲爾斯哥夫村。他有一手精湛的木匠手藝,年輕時就熱衷於製作各種小玩具,齣自他手的小飛機、汽車、動物個個形態逼真、惟妙惟肖。盡管他不懂經商,玩具經常滯銷,但這並未使他放棄自己的愛好。後來,他設計的拼插玩具“約約”終於風靡一時。1934年,他為自己的積木玩具設計瞭“樂高”商標。

於是,各種解釋湧現齣來。一些神秘主義者提齣一個聳人聽聞的看法,他們認為這一代孩子已進化到具有超時空的心靈感應功能;一些精神病學者則提齣一種“高速飛行狂想癥”。直到第一代“蝗群”中有的成員已成長為學者時,纔對“蝗災”提齣瞭符閤事實的解釋。“不是什麼心靈感應,而是社會感應;沒有什麼'高速飛行狂想癥',高速掠過城市的都是些健康的孩子,正因為他們健康,所以他們悶得難受,他們想飛。”一位曾經是“蝗群”成員的青年社會學傢一針見血地指齣。
