Man Repairs Crumbling Walls With Legos 106
Lanxon writes "German-born artist Jan Vormann, 27, has spent the past three years traveling the world repairing crumbling walls and monuments with Lego, reports Wired. His "Dispatchwork" began in 2007 in the small village of Bocchignano, Italy, as part of the contemporary art festival 20 Eventi. Developing the work in situ, he became intrigued by the makeshift repairs that had been made to the crumbling walls. The approach favored function over appearance, reminding Vormann of the haphazard Lego designs created by children."

He repaired the wall with LEGO Bricks, LEGO Blocks, or just plain LEGO....not freaking LEGOS!

That's probably why he is an artist, and not a mason.
