Artists craft Europe map from Lego blocks

Lego is an easy and fantastic way for artists to express their thoughts and craftsmanship. Some found stadiums a catchy idea while others go after monuments, but Bruno Kurth and Tobias Reichling picked a different theme altogether and crafted a Euromap. This art piece is built on 3,84 m x 3,84 m area and consumed 53.500 Lego pieces. The Euromap project took six months to come in the present form.

To make it more interesting, the artists embedded famous monuments of Europe over the map. There are 44 monuments on the map built by Vanessa Graf, Tanja Kusserow-Kurth, Torsten Scheer, Bruno Kurth and Tobias Reichling collectively.

50,000 Milk Cartons Make a Great Castle

Built back in May, during an event that took place in Granada, Spain, this recycled castle was made of 50,000 empty milk cartons.

Designed by the students of the Facultad de Arquitectura de Granada (Granada’s Architectural College), the milk carton castle of Granada was built exclusively out of  tens of thousands of empty milk cartons, gathered by over 5,000 primary school children. The three schools that gathered the most number of milk cartons had the privilege to attend the unveiling ceremony and see the end result of their efforts.

The 29-meters-long, 14.07-meter wide and 7-meter-high milk carton castle was acknowledged by the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest sculpture ever made with recycled materials.
