Patching damaged buildings with Legos

WebUrbanist points out the delightful work of Jan Vormann, an artist who repairs damaged structures with colorful arrangements of Legos.

They write:

The stark contrast of monochromatic, crumbling stone buildings and
small, colorful plastic toy blocks is especially jarring in Berlin,
where evidence of the horrors of World War II is still visible in
cracks and bullet holes. But that’s what makes this setting so poignant
for German artist Jan Vormann, who patches damage to old buildings around the world with Legos. Vormann aims to fill Berlin with new life – even if only temporarily
and symbolically – using this sometimes controversial juxtaposition of
new and old, and the unity that it brings to onlookers who stop to help.
