| A Massive Lego Creation of the U.S. Capitol Building, |
Last Saturday, before the stores at the Bridgewater Commons
Mall opened, and long before the flood of shoppers began to stream in,
Priscille and I came to see the “Lego
Americana Roadshow, Building Across America.”
It’s a superb display of nine historic structures marking
the birth and development of our country.
There are also displays of varied scenes and cityscapes behind glass –
all constructed with Lego Blocks. They
are impressive for their detailed beauty and significance.
The models were first created digitally with computer-aided
design software, and all of the Lego pieces were individually fabricated to
plan requirements. It took from one to
three skilled assembly teams to put together each of the nine big Lego models.
Two of my favorites are the U.S. Capitol Building and The
White House. I was awed by the ingenuity
of the designers and builders. The
Capitol Building is so massive that it dominates the Mall’s Center Court at
Level 1, amazing those who stand before it.
