Marina City LEGO model completed 21-May-08 – A four-foot version of Marina City, constructed of 12,000 LEGO bricks, is complete and ready for display at BrickWorld 2008. The large exhibit of LEGO structures is scheduled for June 19-22 at the Westin North Shore Hotel in Wheeling, Illinois. As it neared completion, the model made an appearance May 2 at Looptopia, the dusk-to-dawn artistic celebration. Architect Adam Tucker had been working on the Marina City model since January and recently decided to re-design the parking ramp.
Tucker has built LEGO models of 16 skyscrapers using the toy bricks, including Sears Tower, John Hancock Center, and Trump International Hotel & Tower. |
