Before November 24th we suggest heading over to the Storefront for Art and Architecture for this urban housing designs exhibit. The little gallery houses a New York City created from Legos! Not a completely new idea (this Sean fella did a good job of it previously), however these guys have taken it to the next level, including little details only locals could appreciate. Seriously, there's even street art...and Banksy no less!
Watch the video of how they created their New York here...and now we really want Bravia to do something crazy with Legos for their next ad. Check out more photos after the jump, and at dpstyles Flickr (who also has some commentary here).
The Storefront for Art and Architecture is located at 97 Kenmare Street.
