TOWERS OF TOMORROW
A plethora of multicoloured, glistening bricks, begging to be fondled and clicked, greet the visitor to the Towers of Tomorrow exhibition at the Museum of Sydney. The rectangular Lego parts are an irresistible lure to both children and adults and are sure to be the most popular aspect of the show.
The display features prominent edifices of Australia and South East Asia which have been built to scale by Lego engineer Ryan McNaught. It includes the beautiful, shining, Petronas Towers, Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands, the Eureka building in Melbourne, and a model of Barangaroo.
The highlight is the opportunity to play with 200,000 rainbow pieces, and organisers expect this to result in the construction of a miniature city surrounding the existing structures.
This is an immersive experience which will appeal to enthusiasts of architecture and design and is sure to inspire the creativity of the next generation. (LR)
